Fortunately it isn''t raining, otherwise we would get wet.

Afortunadamente no está lloviendo, si no nos mojaríamos

Poor me !!! My dear puppy has disappeared. When I'm still looking for him, I need to use a fish to lead my way instead.

¡Pobre mí! Mi perrito querido ha desaparecido. Cuando lo estoy aún buscando, necesito usar un pez para mostrar mi camino en su lugar.

I wanted to say something like "that is the wildest yarn I've ever heard for being late" but I didn't! - bandit51jd, Jun 19, 2011
Esa si que es una excusa rara por llegar tarde :). - 00a4c226, Jun 19, 2011

My wife thinks I walk my fish, but I'm really going to see my girlfriend. My wife isn't very smart.

Mi esposa piensa paseo mi pez, pero estoy ir ver mi novia. Mi esposa es no inteligente.

Leatha, the first "I'm" isn't correct...it should be "My wife thinks that I walk my fish...." I hope this helps. :) Your translation in spanish is a little off. :) Try it again though!!! :) - Jason7R, Jun 19, 2011
