Funny Spanish Story.

Question

Good to be back on Spanishdict. (---| Here's something to break the ice)

Recently I had a dentist appointment (my dentist is in Mexico). After the appointment I went to a really big "Supermercado" to get a few things. I got my 1st and 2nd items and did not know were to look for my 3rd item. (In my perfect Spanish) I asked two young ladies who work at the Supermercado "Perdóneme por favor, ¿dónde puedo encontrar los condones de zapatos'"

The señoritas looked at each other and giggled. Opps; I did it again. I started to back translate what I had said -- but before I finished I realized ...what I had said. Now I started to have a good laugh. Now the señoritas also laughed out loud -- because they knew, that I knew, what they knew ... of what I said. One señorita stopped laughing long enough to tell me where I could find what I was looking for (with the words for "shoelaces" not being spoken).
Done laughing, I said, "Yo sé que la palabra es........... "cordones".
