Weird. In a good way.
Two separate conversations at work today:
[This one took place in Spanish]
Client: "Are you Latina?"
Me: "No."
Client: "Are you from here?"
Me: "Yup"
Client: "Oh..."
Me: "If I told you I was Latina, would you believe me?"
Client: "Yes. ...What's your name?"
Me: "Laura."
Client: "Ah, even a Latina name."
...Later on, she saw me and my manager and a nurse trying on new mesh underpants over our jeans. We didn't notice her until we were dancing. The client pretty much loved it.

Client's partner: "We have questions..."
Me: "Ah, claro. Y dime, que pasa? Hay dolor?"
Client's partner: "She's uncomfortable..."
Me: "Tiene calambres?"
Client's partner: "Um...Do you speak English?"
