Yet another story for the book

November 2007


Jimmy's limited intellectual ability combined with his sheltered early years in a Guatemalan orphanage often causes him confusion which can lead to some hilarious comments.

Leon and Wilson are Hmong by ethnicity and that had been explained to Jimmy many times.
He had also been reminded more than once that they had a Texas accent, and did not speak any language but English. But he must have forgotten both those things because I overheard this conversation:

Leon: "Where y'all goin?"

JImmy: "Y'all? Y'all? What are you talking about. I don't speak Chinese!
