Agoisms

An Agoism is a distinct practice, behavior or ideology of my grandfather, Ago.  Some of these are "unspoken" meaning that he just does them without even thinking about it.  They are already indoctrinated in his mind as a way he should behave.  Most of these have come with age.  The ones dealing with health are my favorite.

• White sugar makes you dumb
• Kroger has better pepinos than H-E-B
• The best dates are Tunisian
• Processed foods are the root of all health problems
• Good apples come from New Zealand
• Alfalfa sprouts, watercress, and avocados are a typical meal.  Delish!
• I may be wrong but I'm never wrong
• Stylish grandpas always wear hats

There are so many more but  just can't think of them right now.  ARGHHH!!! 

What Exactly Is Sparmenglish?

To be honest, Sparmenglish came about when I was communicating with my ninety-three year old grandfather. We can't really talk, the two of us, primarilly because my grandfather is almost deaf and if I did talk it would be more like shouting. But more importantly, we kind of have a language issue.

My grandfather can converse in three languages: Armenian, Romanian, and Spanish.

As a child, I spoke Armenian with him, but as I became older, my Armenian worsened.

His English is very limited (thank you very much, organic, and GOOD MORNING!).

And my Spanish is improving day-by-day.

So in order to solve that problem we have been communicating in our own way: Sparmenglish.

Spanish + Armenian + English = Sparmenglish
