Blunder

Tonight I was reminded of a blunder that I forgot to blog.  Not that the world needs to know all of my Spanish mishaps, but I thought this was a funny one.

Last weekend I was explaining the game “ticket to ride” all in Spanish.  And as we were playing, one of the choices is to draw a face down card.  Well, not knowing how to say face down in Spanish, I decided to call it a surprise card.  So I said…

“¿Quiere una saprissa?” blank stares…oh right, that’s the soccer team…

“¿Quiere una sorpresa?” Another word I’ll never forget.
