Spanish

Okay, lunch time post based on an issue we had at work today:
I learned today, that my Spanish is not very good. In high school and college I could carry on a decent conversation in Spanish. Okay I wasn't fluent, and probably sounded like a Spanish 3rd grader, but I could communicate.
We had a driver come in today who spoke no English. I tried to speak to him, but never learned words like 'dock', or 'crane', or 'broker' (Thanks a lot 4 years of Spanish in high school, and 2 years in college). Instead I learned words like pony, and rainbow. No wonder our kids our messed up (including me). We have a forklift that we are returning to the leasing company. The driver showed up with a flatbed with no room on the back end of the truck. At work we don't have the ability to lift a 10,000 lb. truck onto a flatbed. Apparently the driver did not understand my Espanglish hardly at all. Fortunately I was able to tell him to call his broker.
With that aside, my question I asked is "what happened". Where did my Spanish I learned go? As I pondered today, I figured out the answer. -I live in southern Ohio. Not Southern Texas or Southern California. We speak 3 languages out here: Our primary is English, our secondary is English, and our tertiary (means 3rd for our vocabulary challenged) is Hamiltonian (a mix between Redneck, Hillbilly, English and Ebonics). I haven't had to use Spanish except when I watch Dora the Explorer or Handy Manny with my 2 yr old. I no longer work in a restaurant where I have to talk to the cooks for managers, and I no longer deliver to Apartments in Springdale where nobody speaks English.
Okay, so I learned that my Spanish is good enough to ask for someone who speaks English, and that's fine with me.
