Teenagers or Goats?

The word for teenagers is “chavos.” The word for goats is “chivas.” Remember the difference. Because if you don’t, you could make a mistake like I did last night and say that your friend from California was here last month with four goats.

When my Spanish and Mexican guests, and the maid, were able to stop laughing, one said, “Well, they smell about the same.”

Don't worry, the same happens to us mexicans when trying to speak english. An uncle who was visiting in California told the maid at the hotel he was staying that he wanted shit for his room(a.k.a he wanted a couple of sheets).

A minor pronunciation error ^^
