Boyfriends, yuck!
The little girls at the school kept asking me if I had a boyfriend back in the States, to which I responded (to everyone's amusement), "eeew, gross! Why would I want a boyfriend?"
The wee tots proceeded to list the advantages, among them the fact that we could combine our food stamps.
"Why would I want to share with a stinky boy? Amigos are fine, but novios, yuck!"
At this point, Vanny, the youngest teacher, asked me in English (she's studying it in school) why I was telling them these things.
"Because the last thing these little girls need is to think they need a boyfriend from *this* neighborhood."
