Oh no! Boots has escaped from my backpack and is lost in the woods! El sabatos escapada en la foresta. Will you help me find him?

Great! Let's put on our magic masks that will help us find Boots! El findos de monkey!
Perfecto! Can you say "serial killer?" голяма работа! Now we can see through the trees and find Boots! El seeya de fromage en ravioli!
Look! There he is! Vous les vous en la baguette, sil vous plait!
C'mon, Boots! Jump back into my backpack! We can continue our adventure! Donde esta el gato caliente gordita en la bicyclette!
Oh no! Boots got scared and ran further into the woods! We need to find him! Mondo monkey lookey lookey!

I don't know EXACTLY what that last bit means, but I know it plays every four seconds on the Walt Disney World Monorail...
Feliz cumpleaños- Merry Christmas
No, that's wrong, Feliz Cumpleaños actually means Happy Birthday
Por favor mantenganse alejado de las puertas...oh and that means please stay away from the doors...
I really laughed a lot though!
Love your blog!
I believe that "Por favor mantenganse alejado de las puertas," means "Please make Alex's doors out of manganese."
Looks like you snuck some Bulgarian in there with all that Spanish...!! You are very talented, how many languages is Dora teaching these days on TV?

Cake Wrecks Reading Guidelines:
1. Don't read while drinking or eating.
2. Don't read during kids' nap time if you think they'd be awaken by loud bursts of laughter.
wv: swarios
I swarios, you guys es hilarioso!
Wow... I'm from Mexico... so when I started reading this I was all... "Dios mio! No tiene cerebro esta mujer!" But then I realized you were kidding! I laughed so hard!! Dora la podadora no es querida en Mexico....
So, in conclusion, you have the most excellent brain ever, dear Jen !
"Por favor mantengas alejados de las puertas" is "please stand clear of the door" on the Monorail system at Disney World.
Is it me, or shouldn't that first cake read "Hang ON"???? Sorry... have to ask... think I am going mad
Le sange est sur la table?
My bilingual brain just broke trying to make any sense of your Spanish. Tell John that for my cumpleanos, I want him to wish me feliz navidad. :P
Since everyone else has commented on how hilarious this entry is (grammatically incorrect, I know, but I'm too tired to think how to write it properly), and the translation corrections have been overdone by several people too lazy to read the previous posts to realize their input was entirely unnecessary, I just wanted to point out how the wreckerator of the last cake was clearly aware of the disaster s/he created, thus requiring the Dora the Explorer decoration so the recipient would know what they were receiving.
Do I get points for the longest run-on sentence?
wv: kawthe The kawthe of reading this blog while at work is that I have to pretend I'm not laughing, and to hide the tears streaming down my cheeks.
OMG! I could barely finish reading because I was laughing and crying so hard. I got a great ab workout from this. Boy, this has got to be the funniest thing ever created!
Feliz cumpleanos means Happy Birthday.... LOL I love you guys though :)

Lol what a poor looking monkey ! Oh my. xx
This very much made my day... My bf and I were cracking up translating the spanish! (especially when we saw some russian, french, and german mixed in...) it made absolutely no sense! At first we thought you just had problems with foriegn languages, then we ended up laughing so hard we cried.Thank you for the amusement!
OH MY GOD THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER.
The comments that start out with "Oh, I'm not sure if you knew this, BUT..." then proceed to correct John or Jen about whatever it is that they posted, are my absolute favorite comments. XD
Um, yes. You can always rest assured that John and Jen DO in fact know whatever it is you feel so compelled to correct them about. You see, their sarcastic wit is just so finely honed that it flies right over the little heads of some... which I happen to find hilarious. :D
See: Did you know that your "Merry Christmas" is ACTUALLY "Happy Birthday?" commented approximately 167... THOUSAND times. XD
