Some time ago, I volunteered to help, along with other room moms, to aid our first grade children with a timeline project they were making. I was assigned to work with the rather steely then-president of the PTA. I had always been intimidated by this rather snooty woman. During our shift, we had two children to assist, one of whom recently moved to the Chicago area from Argentina. I spoke a bit of Spanish to the Argentine girl, and helped her with the project.
After the kids left, PTA-mom remarked on my conversational Spanish.
I have a man who does my lawn who is from Brazil. He told me I should go there to visit, but I told him I dont speak Spanish, noted PTA mom.
I had to stifle my snicker.
They dont speak Spanish in Brazil, I gently replied. They speak Portuguese.
OK, that mistake is a common one. But the revelation of her ignorance got worse.
Portuguese? What? Well ,where else do they speak Portuguese, PTA mom retorted incredulously.
I looked her straight in the eye as I offered my reply: Portugal.
Needless to say, I never let the PTA bully bother me again when I realized what a clueless sh*thead she was.
That revealed, I now offer this rather viral video with the always entertaining (in one way or another), if not aggravating, Bill OReilly dishing some scathing gossip about another world geography-challenged PTA mom:(listen for the bit about Africa. It is both priceless and terrifying)
