un momento, por favor

The office was very quiet today. Lilia was tired, I was tired, Jay is always tired. Roberto was talking to his friend on the cell and Hermano Lamartine was in his office. Stephano Lamartine was there because school is On vacation and he was bored at home. He is 18 and in his last year of high school. Lilia, Stephano and I were at the reception desk using the computer to converse. There is a place on there where you can type in English and it will translate to Spanish, and vice versa. We were getting a little silly, saying such things as, "My grandmother eats elephants and onions and you can smell her a mile away." The telephone rang. It was my turn to answer. "Centro de Empleo. Buenas tardes." This lady starts talking a mile a minute and I dont know what she wants. I say, "Un moquito," and hand the phone to Lilia. She starts laughing so hard she cant say anything. Stephano is doubled over, laughing. Well, I just told the lady, "a little booger, por!" At least she didnt hang up.
