More on Conover

I'm not sure if I have all the dates right. We moved around so much that my only point of reference is how old the children were when we were in any given state. Anyway I neglected to mention Karen my youngest, she and her brother and sister while they were in Puerto Rico went to private school, one of our perks, they were in grades 1-2 and 3, their entire curriculum was in Spanish with English as their foreign language. For a while they only understood arithmetic. I learned as much Spanish as I could, so that I could translate their homework, and then work with them to get it back into Spanish. It wasn't long before,

by playing with neighboring children, they were conversing in Spanish. It was kind of nice if they were arguing I had no idea what they were on about. Cher my eldest girl had Spanish as her foreign language, except for Social studies that was in Spanish. After I finished my blog which seems to go on too long, I remembered the first time I took Karen to the doctor's in Conover. Somehow she got locked in the bathroom, and I could hear her banging on the door and crying out, "Ay Dios Mio." Which now translates to O.M.G. I told my teenage grand daughter who is learning Spanish, instead of O.M.G. We must write A.D.M.
One thing I didn't like in Cayey, when I went to a store and asked for what I wanted in Spanish, they always answered in English. You can't win when you have a Brit accent.
