Independence Day[s]
“Can we are have Margaritas today?”
“Um. I don’t think I’ve ever made one.”
“You are make dem?”
“I can try. We’ll look it up on the web and make virgin ones.”
“Only one?”
“No several. Maybe alcoholic ones for us grown ups and non-alcoholic or virgin ones for you youngsters. Can’t be that difficult.”
“There are being two kinds of Margaritas?”
“I think there are lots of different kinds but they’re not really my kind of a thing.”
“But you are like them?”
“What’s not to like? Are they traditional for Americans on Independence Day?”
“Yes.”
“Where did you learn that? I’d have thought they were more Mexican than American?”
“No dats Mexican Hats.”
“I don’t think anyone will be wearing a Mexican Hat in the street parade.”
“You are not being wearing a Mexican Hat.”
“No I’m not going to be wearing a Mexican Hat.”
“No! Nobody is wearing a Mexican Hat!”
“It’s o.k. I’m not arguing with you. I’m agreeing with you. You’re right no-one will be wearing a Mexican Hat.”
“I am not want to talk about Mexican Hats. I am want to be talking about margaritas.”
“I thought we’d already sorted out the margaritas?”
“No.”
“No? What have we left out?”
“I’m gonna wear the Margaritas and the other people are gonna be wearing the two other colors.”
“What other colors? What do you mean ‘wear?’”
“I’m gonna decorate my hat with Margaritas coz they are being white. You’re gonna wear Mexican Hats coz they are being red and we need a blue flower too.”
“Ah! Marguerites! The flower, not the booze.”

You ever get the feeling that they are thinking away, and are just humoring us by trying to translate those thoughts into English for us?

I’m in Wisconsin, so that may be different from California, but here Margaritas are not traditional fare for Independence Day (around here it’s beer, but again, this is Wisconsin).
Then again, Marguerites aren’t traditional here either. Usually it’s fireworks and red/white/blue stripes & stars.

Ma’am, if you wish the boys to get along in America, you must teach them to call things by their right (American) names. In this country, that flower is known as a Daisy.
P.s. My Mom’s name was Marguerite. It was continually mis-pronounced by the yahoos in my Dad’s family.

Marita, an Englishman, George Huntoon, was the only person outside of her own family who pronounced my Mom’s name correctly to her. He is long dead, as is she.

Are all of you a bunch of silly Mommies, or what? I try to make a serious comment here and all of y’all catch a ride in the Roflcopter! Some people are both somewhat autistic, and grown-up, and not female nor Mommies, and think y’all are right silly, and that that 19th Amendment was a bad idea. Grrr!

We are having quite a few margarita issues of late. Our own fault for allowing E to consume some of the concentrate when we ran out of limeade.
A word to others: never, ever do that. Margarita mix is far more expensive than limeade.
Far, far more.
