Multilingualism

JF my coworker often takes the Lord's name in vain. Everyday she can be heard exclaiming, "Jeeesus!" and "Dios mio!"

This morning, in a playful mood, i repeated after her, "Dios mio!"

To which she responded, "That means 'my God'."

As if i needed tranlation. I was really tempted to reply, "Yo sé. Cuando era niña, estudiaba español. Pero puedes decir 'mon dieu', señora?"

But i didn't. i really speak neither Spanish nor French. And in actuality, it wasn't that long ago when i attempted to become multilingual. I was already not young then.
