Annie was on her way to Mexico!
The extent of her knowledge of the Spanish language consisted of a few essential phrases...‘hello’, ‘taxi’ and, of course…’ where’s the bathroom?’”
Guadalajara International Airport…the signs were in Spanish, of course.
“Where’s baggage claim?” Annie thought.
“Can I help you, ma’am?”
“Estoy embarazada” Annie said.
“Oh. Do you need ’el baño?” the airport employee asked.
“Why do you think I need a bathroom?” Annie inquired.
“Because you just said you’re pregnant.”
“Estoy avergonzada is what I meant.”
“You’re embarrassed? No need! We’re here to help.”
Annie let Google Translate take it from there.
