Today Tica Macha mentioned making up a song to remember how to pronounce guanabana, a fruit that makes the most refreshing juice ever. I’d like to know how Tica Macha’s song goes because we used a song to help us remember too, except we didn’t come up with it ourselves. Guanabana is pronounced is just like the old Muppet song Mahna Mahna. Frankly, I can’t even think of the fruit anymore without singing the Muppet song. Or going to Doo te do doo after hearing or reading the word Guanabana.

    The Ticos are going to think we’re gringos locos when we’re shopping and bust out the tune every time we see one…
