Answer 1

If they are telling jokes in English in your Spanish class, I think everyone here who is actually trying to learn Spanish will understand who is actually the joke here. . .and your inabilty to fill in the blanks about your mother just reinforces it.

Wow lighten up! The answer is They were so poor they saw the arco iris in Negro y blanco. Saw the rainbow in black and white. - jmcgowan, Aug 29, 2011

I try to translate it in my head but I can't think of the answer.
