We just got home from watching Rio, and may I say that was a great movie. Incredibly beautiful animation, funny, moved quickly.
In case you haven't seen it, it the storyline centers around two blue macaws named Jewel and Blue. Jewel is a no-nonsense, take charge kind of bird. Adam observed the following:
"Mom, Jewel doesn't take anyone being mean. She'd beat the tuna fish outta them. I didn't wanna say a bad word so I said tuna fish instead of, like, crap."

We had just stopped at a Latin market to pick up some platinos maduros for Sunday dinner. I was speaking to the cashier in (limited) Spanish. Walking out the door I thought to myself, "Maybe Adam can take Spanish in school and then he can teach me and we can speak together." Let me stress that this was a thought, not a verbalized idea. Out of seemingly nowhere, we have the following conversation.
Adam: Actions speak louder than words, right?
Me: That's true, Adam (wondering where this is going).
Adam: Yeah, so I think I should learn sign language.
...Pienso que seré la única persona para hablar español en mi casa.
