a very special happy birthday from chile

Feliz Cumpleanos, Mom!

I used you as an example this morning as I talked about the future tense. I said that in ten years, on your birthday, I would make you a cake. Unfortunately for your future cake, I forgot the Spanish slang for cake and needed my students to spell it for me. The Spanish alphabet is pronounced quite differently than English alphabet… in attempting to spell what I heard the students say, I wrote “caca” on the board. Yes, caca is the same word in Spanish and English. I wrote “Next year, I will make my mom a caca for her birthday.” Exclamation point.

Happy birthday!
