First of all, I think we need a small "rule": Only people with comic character avatars can post to this thread. LOL!!
Second - "pequeñas cosas" - in this context, could that be equivalently replaced with "cositas" (given the affinity that Spanish speakers have for the diminutive)??
Third - can we redefine "Spanglish" in "Lou Ann's World" as a mixture of Spanish and English in the same sentences & paragraphs when she's in a hurry??
"El Mundo de Lou Ann"............
