Quincy works at a farm where they have Native Mexicans working for them. I have gone to the farm to help Quincy a couple times. When I was up there the one time I heard one of them talking about me to the other and got interested. I started listening and heard them say things like "how did he get her" and "she makes those boots look good." This disturbed me just a little and made me feel a little uncomfortable. I listened for a little longer until one of them noticed I was there listening. As soon as they knew I was there they stopped talking. They stood there and starred in amazement when I said "Muchas gracias por las felicitaciones." They were speechless and I just laughed and walked away. Little did I know Quincy and his boss were listening and thought it was funny that I knew what they were saying about me.
I was very proud that day. I was happy that I could use my Spanish. I was also very happy for the compliments!
