I consider myself a pretty smart person. I had good grades in school, graduated college with honors in Computer Science…something in my brain works right. But every once in a while I say or do things that make you wonder what IS going on up there.
On Black Friday morning, Heather and I were in the line to turn into Target and I was joking about something and said "mucho dinero" and then went into some conversation I should have had in my head…"dinero..mula…do those both mean money in Spanish? Do they have two words for money? I wonder which one is the right one to use? mucho dinero, mucho mula. Hmm…I wonder if it’s spelled mula or moola. Mula definitely seems more Spanish."
So today I go to look it up. I google mula to see and find this on urbandictionary.com:
Well, I got the Spanish part right but I’d like to see the look on a Spanish speaking person’s face when I said I had "mucho mula".
Amy says
I’m sure the closest spanish speaking person was looking around for “much donkeys”.
Maybe they thought you were referring to the other shoppers.
It could happen….
