Up for interpretation

Ignacio has taken it upon himself to be Emilio's ambassador. It suddenly appears that Emilio is a foreign exchange student from a far-off land and only Ignacio knows his language and, for that reason, has taken responsibility of ensuring our FULL understanding of Emilio's wants and needs. Last night Angel was trying to feed Emilio and was crying. Ignacio stated, "He's saying, 'I DON'T WANT PRUNES!!!!'" Thank you Ignacio. Today Emilio was throwing his food on the floor and I said, "No, no Emilio." Ignacio quickly responded, "It's his job. He's learning. He's saying, 'I DON'T WANT MORE FOOD!!!" Thank you Ignacio. The funniest part is that he says Emilio's supposed words with conviction and emotion. The other night I left for work and Ignacio said, "When you leave Emilio's sad and says, 'I want milky." Oh boy...Emilio, please start talking soon so we can respectfully relieve Ignacio from his position as your interpreter.
