My ex's parents were both Mexican nationals. My limited knowledge of Spanish was quite helpful. Mother in law spoke both, father in law not so much, but I knew enough to understand what he said, but I seldom respond in Spanish and he was likewise. He was pretty cool, didn't want to be a associated with the age of being a father in law, so we were Primos, cousins :lol:. Whenever I heard "ballaso", I knew my mother in law was talking about me, ballaso=clown :lol:. We had a heck of a party when they became Naturalized US Citizens.
