10‐year‐old white boy: Mom, you know what I’m wondering?
Mom: No, what?
10‐year‐old: What does “shish kanish” mean?
Mom, staring at him: What the hell are you talking about?
10‐year‐old: In that song by Shakira it says she makes a man wanna “shish kanish.“
Mom, shaking head: “Speak Spanish,” Cory. She made a man wanna speak Spanish. Shit, you ain’t never gonna be a singer.
