There are 2 reasons I have trouble understanding my neighbor:
1. he's 80 and I don't understand old people when they speak Spanish
2. he has no teeth and I don't understand people with no teeth when they speak Spanish
So my neighbor, Mr. Jose (yes, the same name as my husband and my chihuahua) and I introduced ourselves to each other a while back. Well it took me a while but I finally figured out he's been calling me Miguel instead of Michelle. He says, "Hola, como esta Miguel?" or "How's your husband Miguel?" (Miguel is a guy's name by the way, so I guess he thinks my husband and I are 2 gay guys.) So the other day I said, "Hola Mr. Jose, hey you know I'm a girl?" He said, "Oh, pardon, Miguelita."
