As Others See Us...

Hello everyone,

This video is a short skit performed by the boys of our youth group. Last Saturday night we were celebrating Dia de la Mujer (Women's Day) so the boys planned a whole evening for our enjoyment. Part of the entertainment was that they would act out a skit, and one of the boys would play the role of one of us girls, and we had to guess which girl it was. They were hysterical.

In this video, which is of course the one featuring "Rachael," you will find the following scenario: Clemente (in blue) and Beto (in red) are talking to each other when they run into me (played by Gonzalo, also in red). Clemente and Beto are trying to explain to "me" about the hiking trip the youth group did while I was away in the summer. Notice my blank expression, and how I don't seem to be really getting it. Clemente and Beto try again, at which point Gonzalo really drives home who he is imitating: he says "Noo, verDAD?" in a terrible terrible English-speaking accent. The camera jerks at this point because I lost it laughing, and so did everyone else. Rats, and I thought my accent was getting so much better!

Anyways, it was truly hilarious watching the boys acting like girls, and I hope you enjoy it even if you don't understand the Spanish.

Love to all!
Rachael
