Today in Spanish class, my teacher asked everyone to take turns telling the class why they've chosen to learn Spanish. The 16 year old pregnant girl that sits in front of me seriously said, "My baby is half Mexican, and I want to be able to understand it when it's born." MMT

Somebody stole this and put it on MLIA. I'm ashamed to say I voted "Yes" for it, before finding out it was here first. I'm sorry. :(

Well. Atleast we know why she's pregnant. She probabaly thinks condoms are just scented balloons.

No way!! I can't believe someone would do that. I was just reading MLIA and I saw it & I was like, "I POSTED THAT!!!!!!!!" By the way, Luisa is my Spanish name. It's okay that you yes'd it, It's a good story. (:

Wow, that sucks that somebody stole the story on you): It was posted to FML too, I saw that one even before this or MLIA (not saying that FML was the original, that's just where I saw it....I don't understand how this would be an FML though). But it is a good story xD Like somebody said on MLIA, that just means more people are reading it ;D lol

I hope by "it" she meant Spanish and not the baby. :)

this is the stupidest thing I have ever read. It's not enlightening, it's not intellectual it's just plain stupid. Why learn a language that your baby will clearly not being speaking as soon as it's popped from your cervix? It can grow up learning whatever language you speak. This is so stupid. There's a reason why she's 16 and pregnant.

yeah i was about to say the same thing the baby isn't going to know spanish when it is born, im sure that baby will never even learn spanish

Did you ever think she might want a way to raise the baby with its heritage? And that "understand" does not mean "listen to"? Maybe you're all the idiots.

I agree ^ I am half mexican, i wish my mom would have took the time to learn spanish and teach it to me. Then maybe i would feel more like i belong to something, instead of being borderline on life.

This one is my favorite:)

I don't mean to be rude, but I'm 99% sure this never happened. I've heard different variations of this joke quite a few times.

The world is made up of billions of people with varying degrees of intelligence & life experiences. It is very possible this actually happened and more than once. That being said, this still kills me. /dead
