I have similar stories about my abuelita and my father. My father does not speak Spanish and my mom and I in an attempt to hide something from him were speaking in Spanish.

Great story and video.Lately my Suegra has been trying to get involved in conversations between my husband an I, (even when we're speaking English.) ...
