Iman! Iman! Donde esta Iman?
And that's what I remember from taking six years of Spanish in school. Pepito was looking for his dog, Iman. That line is ingrained in my mind forever. I even named a parakeet after Pepito in high school. If I'm lucky enough to make it to slobbering-old-cootdom, I'm sure that's what I'll be screaming as I run down the halls of the nursing home.
So, I put my pups on Dogster last night because basically I have no life. But it's still cute and it's still fun. Look on the menu bar on the left for the Dogster logo you'll see links to Sadie and Pickles. Pickles already got a request for a doggie friend. (Man, I've really lost it.)
Here's a nice quote I found worth sharing:
-Milan Kundera

La Familia de Fernandez - pepito, Enrique, Maria, Mama......clssic Spanish I & II instruction.....
lol. I just finished a book—"Mommy Are We French Yet?" Anyway, in the beginning of the book I refer to the "cue sheets" that I also remember from 7th grade. "Voy a nadar"
I too have no life (except the book and 3 kids/husband and two dogs) I recently posted my dogs on a dog site but haven't checked to see if they have any friends.

You know what is even sadder? I can finish the lesson :
Donde esta Iman?
Iman! Iman!
Aqui viene Iman!
Buenos dias Pepito.
Donde esta Emilio?
Aqui viene.
Buenos dias Emilio.
Buenos dias Enrique.
Estas listo?
Si.
Estoy Listo.
Vamonos.
Si. Vamonos.
Ay, Dios mio! Les puedo decir que por lo menos, estudie esta leccion en 1968.
Donde esta Emilio ahora? Con esposa, ninos? No habia una hermana tambien?
What is even more amazing is that you cannot find the La Familia Fernandez text anywhere. It thought it would be a hoot to find a copy but they seem to have all disappeared.
Pepito! Pepito! Callate Pepito!
I also call women sympatiquisima.
I just read a thread about the Dick and Jane readers and it made me think about another book that made a big impression on me in 7th grade. It started with Iman! Iman! Donde esta Iman? So I googled Iman! Iman! Donde esta Iman? and the top return was your blog, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Then I noticed you wrote this 11 years ago and the last activity on your other blogs is 2 years old. So, I don't know where you are now, perhaps running through those hallways you mentioned, but I wanted to say thank you for writing and publishing your blog and... Iman! Iman! Donde esta Iman?
That's so funny... I very often think of that opening line from the first episode of the series, so I thought I'd google it to see if anybody is as nuts as I am. The lives and times of Pepito, Enrique and Alvaro. Spanish I thru IV. What a hoot!!!!
