Orale Pues

By kiki

In the wee morning hours, Connie and I were sitting up in bed watching an old movie, and with the end of the film came hunger pains: so I jumped out of bed and walked to the kitchen to see what I could find to munch on. Finding nothing, I walked back to our love room, and I said to Connie, "orale pues!" I was hoping that would prompt her to get up and fix me some breakfast, but the tone of voice she used in answering me gave me second thoughts "what?!!' I couldn't think of anything to say, so I muttered, "no te dejas" (don't give up) "nunca" (never) she retorted. I went back to bed; it was only 3:00 AM.
