Mrs. T-B. & the Citizenship Test

[IR5FORMUMSIE 850]

Uh, si man. If one's accented wife ever says "I want you to take me on a ship," several alternate meanings come to mind, see man. (Don't tell Spooky.)

That depends on whether or not you are in the vicinity of Cleveland or Pittsburgh at the time, steamy. man!

Mrs. T-B. uneventfully had her biometrics today and was given a book/CD with the questions. I will review them as a priority and very helpfully write in the real correct answers, si man.

Congratulations on her having a successful biometrics session and kudos to you for writing in the real answers. Mrs. T-B won't get royally screwed by the process, Real answers not withstanding. Si, man!

Gracias, Cinco-Bone.

The Citizenship booklet has a picture of Mount Rushmore on its front. I just showed it to Mrs. T-B., who was deeply engrossed in Spanish-language social activity on Facebook, with dialogue as follows:

T-B.: Who are these people?

Mrs. T-B. [distractedly/irritatedly]: Who is that people? Chucha [oh, #######]... Jorge Washington, Abraham Lincoln [she correctly pointed to him on the right], and... and...

T-B.: And?

Mrs. T-B. [pointing to Theodore Roosevelt]: John F.K. and... and... I know him [pointing to Thomas Jefferson] ...oh, chucha...

T-B. [helpfully]: It's someone who's the answer to another question in the book.

Mrs. T-B. [excited]: Perry Ellis!

T-B. [to self]:

T-B. [pointing to Mt. Rushmore]: What is the name of this structure?

[Mrs. T-B. looks at T-B. as though he's loco (largely accurate)]

T-B.: What is the name of the place where these people are?

[silence from Mrs. T-B.]

T-B.: Mount Rushmore.

Mrs. T-B.: Mount WHATmore? Why the hell they call it that?

T-B.: Because that's the name of the mountain where their faces are.

Mrs. T-B.: Then they should call it Mount Face... Mount Facebook. Now leave me alone -- I'm chatting.

T-B. [to self]:

[TBoneTX 45,591]

T-B.: "Name two Indian tribes in the U.S."

Mrs. T-B.: Chucha, I don't know... I know! The Casinos! The Casino Indians!

T-B. [to self]:

T-B.: "Name two Indian tribes in the U.S."

Mrs. T-B.: Chucha, I don't know... I know! The Casinos! The Casino Indians!

T-B. [to self]:

I love Mrs T!! She is too cute for words and always provides a good chuckle!

[TBoneTX 45,591]

Thank you, si man. Si her here, man:

[moemac59 192]

Thank you, si man. Si her here, man:

She is quite lovely. Thanks TBone now I can put a face to the conversations that you have had with her. Thanks again for sharing!

[TBoneTX 45,591]

She is quite lovely.

Thank you, si man. You can also si... er, see those big brown eyes that help her to get her way around here...

[Mr. Borkström 63]

How's the citizenship thing going?

[TBoneTX 45,591]

How's the citizenship thing going?

Still awaiting an interview letter, sigh man.

[Mr. Borkström 63]

Break a leg man! And if that doesn't help, break someone else's leg.

[TBoneTX 45,591]

Well, mirabile dictu, say man: Mrs. T-B.'s interview letter arrived on Nov. 5; interview date is Dec. 10, si man.

She danced around at the news but stopped suddenly, and this dialogue ensued:

Mrs. T-B. [looking blank/scared]: I don't know where I put the [citizenship] book.

T-B.: Uh-oh.

Mini-Bone [21 months old]: Uh-oh.

T-B.: You'll find it. Meanwhile, all the answers that you need to know are "Perry Ellis," "Calvin Klein," "Casino Indians," and "chocolate ice cream," si man.

Mrs. T-B.: Did you eat all the ice cream?

T-B. [wanting to lie]: No.

Mrs. T-B.: Sometimes, husbands bring their citizen wives the chocolate ice cream, and the citizen wives eat it.

T-B.: You're not a citizen yet. And, for claiming this, I shall have you deported, and I'll then promptly call the rubias [harem of 6 imaginary blondes].

Mini-B.: Uh-oh.

[Mrs. T-B. issues T-B. a wedgie]

[T-B. issues a return wedgie]

Mrs. T-B.: Wedgies are a sign of commitment in a relationship.

T-B.: I'll inform the rubias of that; let me call them now. It will help greatly if you also try to vote tomorrow.

[T-B. dodges as a can of cling peaches whizzes past his ear]

Mini-B.: Uh-oh.

Thank you, si man. In complete seriousness for a fleeting moment, be sure that you are in Guayaquil for Tigre's interview, or you will never reach our stage, no man.

Mrs. T-B. and the other Ecuatoriana wives can't comprehend why we gringo husbands will never forget our mistreatment at the consulate, no man.

Aren't the native Ecuadorian indians the forebears of the Casino Indians here, huh man?

Whoopee, si man!

In other gripping news, Mrs. T-B. found the citizenship study book (actually, I found it for her, si man). She promised to start studying when she has time, sigh man.
