This morning I woke up and said to my husband, "Oh yeah, it's Cinqo de Mayo today."
He said rather amused, "No, that was Wednesday."
Me: "Doesn't cinqo mean seven?"
Now he's really amused.
And this, my friends, is why I don't home school.
UPDATE: Apparently the number 5 in Spanish is spelled "cinco," not "cinqo." I am not correcting my post since I think it only reinforces my overall point. For my husband's vindication, he did know that Cinco de Mayo was Tuesday, not Wednesday and I just recalled the story incorrectly. Adios amigos.

I learned that on Sesame Street. Just in case you wanted to know.
Oh, I HOPE I don't have to know Spanish to homeschool - my kids are in trouble!!!
(I do know that cinqo is five though. We watched Sesame Street, too. :))
Totally understandable mistake. Because obviously. . . um, well . . . I'm sure there's something. And that it's obvious.
Missy, we had a Cinco de Mayo party here in SA on Wednesday. We had to introduce some North American culture to our South African friends--none of whom were actually South Africa (3 from the DRC and 2 from Holland).
We had a little Mexican history lesson. But, I wish you could have been there to enlighten us on the Spanish language.
Sorry, it's the "teacher in a former life" in me that must correct your spelling...it's CINCO--no "q"~~save that for my last name. ; )
We had fajitas on Cinco de Mayo just to be festive. Afterall, we love to incorporate different cultures at our house!
