Years ago, working as a speech-pathologist for Head Start, I was observed chatting with some kids in Spanish, and some Numpty in management decided that I was competent to assess their language skills, and I was assigned this duty.
The truth of the matter was that if a 4 year old from a Spanish speaking family couldn't pass me up, the kid probably had a language delay. I was pretty good at keeping up with the 3 year olds, but pretty much hopeless communicating with the parents--fortunately most of them were generous, extremely kind, and probably amused by my endless bumbling of verb tenses.
I did not include this delightful experience in future resumes!!
