Motherland

As we are walking home from school Gwenchik proudly recounts her Spanish class geography lesson. They had a giant map on the wall with all the continents in Spanish.
Gwen: In school everyone knows that I am Russian. Actually  ---  the only Russian, I think.
Me: Yes
Gwen: So everyone was wondering what was that huge orange blob on the map -- and I was like, "oh, that is Russia -- pais mas grande del mundo!" Now EVERYONE is envious of me.

You're the only Russian in your school? Didn't expect that, i thought there would be a lot of russians there. What ever you do, do not teach your friends any mean words in Russian. Let me know if you want to know why.
