What a pity

Conversation with Emerson, my 7-year-old neighbor:

Em: “Qué lastima que no puede regalarme una pelota.”

Me: “Sí. ¡Qué lastima!”

Way to discriminate against the non-Spanish speakers.

It was the same one, I just decided to write about it.

Ashleigh, i wrote this post in Spanish specifically to keep you from understanding.

But if you must know, it means...

"What a pity that you can't gift me a ball."

"Yes. What a pity!"

Ohhh. I mixed up your blog post with our actual conversation.

I KNEW you were trying to exclude me; thank you, though, for having a change of heart and letting me in on things. I feel so much better now! ;)
