So I just saw CBP act at the airport. We’re leaving for Argentina and right as we were entering the international flight, I saw what looked and sounded like an Argentinian police officer questioning a young lady. All I heard is “who were you visiting?” And “are you sure he’s not your boyfriend?”. Mind you, this is the departure flight, which I thought weird. 

Watch out for gringos illegally invading Argentina, si man!

My gringo will not want to come back!!! My dad has already stocked up the freezer with good, high quality steak. Also, pizzas are very good there too, because of our Italian immigrants. 
It will be his first time there. We’ll start by visiting Iguazú falls (it’s one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World) and then we’ll visit my family and get good food and good wine!

Just to make it clear, we were leaving the US. I thought CBP would question you when you come in, not when you leave?

We have heard other South Americanos say that Argentinian Spanish sounds funny, because it's too much like Italian, si R ma'am.

Once, they or someone else questioned how much money we were taking to Ecu, $i man.  When we explained that we were the fabulous head Business Typhoon of the Pre-Owned Toilet Seat empire, they let us through after bowing & scraping in our presence, si man.

In general, they don’t like us. Mainly because of “porteños” (people from Buenos Aires). Argentinians tend to believe they have the best of everything : best soccer, best steak… I guess I want to say we are not humble. And yes, our accent is very different from the rest, so much so that if I say “hola”, any other Spanish speaker would quickly say I’m Argentinian. 
I once had a co worker from Paraguay that would imitate my accent. It started as a joke, then he mocked my accent every. Single. Day. Not funny at all!

Belated mini-Thursday report, see man:

 

Lunch for Mini-B. was microwave rice with tuna, ingest wee man.

Lunch for us was toucans of chicken noodle soup, ingest we man.

 

'Twas Mini-B.'s day to spend time with ex-Mrs.-T-B., wee with ex-she man.

Piano lesson was 1 p.m. instead of the usual Many p.m., rescheduled man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. picked up Mini-B. at noon, fine with us man.

We asked for his return by Many (2+2+2) p.m., more than ample time man.

 

Many p.m. arrived, and ex-Mrs.-T-B. pulled her usual stunt,  man.

"Can he stay longer and watch a movie with us, huh man?" wheedled ex-she to we man.

"Negatory," replied we to ex-she man, "and have him back by half-past Many at latest, si man!"

A moderate argument ensued, predictable man.

Mini-B. was finally returned at not much past our stated time, good thing man.

 

To make up for Mini-B.'s disappointment, we had an extra Movie Night, OK man.

We watched two episodes of a Star Wars miniseries, not bad man.

Many (2+2+1) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

Two Guys status was restored, so rudely interrupted earlier man.

Thrilling Friday report, see man:

 

Miu absolutely aysheep all morning and much of day, wild rampaging aysheep miu man.

 

We can't for the life of us remember what was for lunch, ingest something Two Guys man.

     *buy yours today, si man

 

In lieu of burgers on Movie Night, agreed to get Subway* and bring it back, agree Two Guys man.

Do you have that many that you get so tired and have to call them by a short name, huh R ma'am?

 

A native of Guayaquil is a Guayaco (Guayaca), si man.

A native of Cuenca is (we think) a Cuenceñya (???) or something man.

We must brush up on our Ecu sub-ethnicities, si man.

 

Hondureños call us (we personally, and gringos generally) bolillos, white bread man.
