In Which Spanish Bananagrams Kicks Our Bottoms

Spanish Bananagrams is really hard.  We played it tonight.

Was it the Lone Star Baby, the only person in the family who is actually fluent in Spanish, who won? 

No.  She had a K - when there were too few letters left for pelando or tirando -  and there are no real natively Spanish words that contain K, just foreign-derived words, so that was very hard.

Was it Lone Star Ma, the person who graduated  from college with a minor in Spanish, who won?

No.  She had a W - when there were too few letters left for pelando or tirando -and there are no real natively Spanish words that contain W, which was not even in the Spanish alphabet at first, just foreign-derived words (and only a very few), so that was very hard.

Was it the Lone Star Girl, who diligently studies Spanish as her Language B in her IB school, who won?

Nope.

Was it, perhaps, Lone Star Pa, who speaks no Spanish at all, really, just the basic words you could not help but know if you lived three hours (max) from Mexico, who won?

Why, yes - it was.
