Ryleigh was six years old.We were at the Mexican restaurant she was done eating and ask for some money to buy some candy at the counter. She went up their and waited and she could see the workers in the back talking in spanish. She says Ah Ha does anyone here speak English. Soda went out my nose and rushed to pay the bill and left.
I love this story! Ha!
