Multilingual

Driving through San Antonio, Ben interrupts his constant monologue from the back seat to ask a question, "Does everyone in San Antonio speak Spanish?"

Parental unit, from the front seat, "Oh.. I'm sure that not everyone in San Antonio speaks Spanish.. why?"

Back Seat : "Because I just saw a sign in Spanish."

Front Seat : "Well, there's Spanish signs in Austin, too."

Back Seat : "I never see them."

Front Seat : "Ok... well I bet that people speak lots of languages in San Antonio, just like they do in Austin."

Back Seat : "Like English?"

Front Seat : "Yes."

Back Seat : "And French?"

Front Seat : "French too."

Back Seat : "What about British?"

Front Seat : "British?  What words do you know in British, Ben?"

Back Seat : "Oh.. not that many.  I just know a little."

Front Seat : "Can you tell us what you know?"

Back Seat : "Ok.  'We've hopped across the pond to give you Yanks one for, eh!'"
