A Cubanism, for Cesar
Today's Cubanism is one my grandmother used to tell me all the time when I interrupted conversations between adults, and it's dedicated to new reader and commenter Cesar:
Cubanism: Los niños hablan solo cuando las gallinas mean.
Literal translation: Children speak only when hens pee.
I'm sure you can all guess the meaning of this one, right?

Oyy, Val - can you explain for me? I'm sorry, I am not Cuban and don't understand, but I just love knowing earthy Cubanisms.
