El Hombre Tiene un Booboo
Pobrecito Jorge
Visiting my sister and her family outside of San Francisco. My adorable nephew, Little Ricky, is quite talkative, mostly in Spanish, thanks to his Mexican daddy. Over our shoulders at the computer screen of this picture of Bush, who fell off his bicycle and scraped his cheek (or was it another “pretzel” incident?), Ricky said, “El hombre tiene un booboo.”

Here’s one for word nerds. Fowler’s Modern English Usage published by Oxford. I’m surprised no one mentioned it.
I don’t claim to be an expert in word nerdism but Fowler’s is the only one I have read and enjoyed.
