I'm just gonna jump right in: I really shouldn't be culture shocked anymore. Really. I've lived in New York City since June 2006. Five years coming up. More than a New York minute but not decades (yet) either... So, as if the real estate market wasn't enough to get used to, I log on to take a schools' survey about Gabe's particular charter school, and I get this on the home menu. I shouldn't be shocked. Or think it odd. I should just be used to it by now.
Somewhere in the back of my head I hear my Pap Vernon Lee Thompson - born and bred in West Virginia - yelling in his distinctive huntin' shootin' camouflaged pants, "You come to Amurrica you learn English!" But that's another story.
Anyway, I took the survey in Aztec to shake things up a bit. And you know what I learned? "Avocado" literally translates into "testicles of a tree." Chew on that next time you dip that chip into guacamole.
