Cannibalism

So there is a difference in Spanish between saying “comer – to eat” and “comerse – to eat something in particular”.  So today a classmate of mine was talking and said something like this… “¿Cuando la familia se come la hija se enfirme?”Which actually means… When the family ate the daughter, did they get sick?  Instead of… When the family ate, did the daughter get sick? We laughed.  A lot.
