Spanish Lesson: Son of Sand

(Scene: A pair of hammocks in Oaxaca.)

Friend with British accent: How do you say "sand...?" As in "sand of the
                                                  beach?"

Mexican friend:                     Hijo de la chingada.

Friend with British accent: Really?... No, no, "sand." "Sand of the
                                                  beach."

Mexican friend:                     Sí. Hijo de la chingada... O hijo de puta.

Friend with British accent: No, "sand..." Of the beach...

Mexican friend:                     Sí, es lo que dije, no?

Friend with British accent: That's "son of..." Never mind.

Mexican friend:                     Bueno...no entiendo.
