Lol "that bitch had everything " yup there are lucky one out there

[@WifeofaJer]

May Sal shit I am beginning to think I should have named my daughter Jessica. They do have everythingggg

[@RebelwheelsNYCShow]

I feel that social media could make a Laura / Jessica reunion possible lol. And maybe it could be pt 2 of the friendship :) as there is no language barriers #TeamWachiWachi

[@osielescalante2785]

Rebelwheels NYC YES!!👐

[@wearemitu]

Hahahaha !!! Great idea Rebelwheels NYC, let's look for Jess ASAP !!!!

[@RebelwheelsNYCShow]

lol yeah but that was really also because there was nothing to talk about, since there was a language barrier. Now, that's not an issue so they can actually have a conversation about stuff lol

[@jakob9666]

Rebelwheels NYC wouldn’t it be funny if when they met again Jessica spoke Spanish and Laura spoke English

[@carpediem8752]

hahahaha love it

[@ShelikaBaez]

My cousin and I made up a language too! It was called Firijari Firijari and it was very similar to Wachi Wachi. We also added "-ation"to every Spanish word to magically make it English. Calor became Caloration and Pierna became Piernation lol

[@wearemitu]

Firijari Firijari, Firijari Firijari, Firijari Firijari Shelika Baez, right ??? Hahaha lol

[@ShelikaBaez]

firijari! lol

[@anahywho3943]

Shelika Baez oh my gosh, my mom speaks Firijari!

[@carpediem8752]

hahahahaha

[@Rebeca-jr7rz]

Me toooooo

[@latronqui]

Laura's corner has become my favorite Mitú section, even though I subscribed because of Yenny.

[@bumbleigh]

As a middle school ESL teacher for beginners only, this makes me laugh so hard. Watched this at least 10 times. This is ALL my sweet, terribly-confused babies. Thank you for using laughter to help get this over-worked teacher through her week, even when the sweet, terribly-confused babies are being little butthead preteen malcriados. ❤️

[@wrinkleintime4257]

I was born in the US but my parents are From Cuba/Colombia so I didn't start learning English until I got to school at like 4 ish years old. My mom says that I would add -ation to Spanish words and hat was my Verizon of English haha So like "bread" was "panation" and so on and so forth~ Also, my sister and I played with barbies all the time!! My grandma ( may she rest in peace) collected dolls and was always buying us barbies so we wracked up quite the collection! We came up with very elaborate games with complex story lines and we'd make them clothes and accessories ah~ those were the days :')

[@ShelikaBaez]

SAME! I remember once I told my friend at school that my piernation was hurting. lol

[@wearemitu]

Hahahaha !!! You get creative instincts growing up WrinkleinTime42

[@puzzlesoup5195]

WrinkleinTime42 cool I am half Cuban half Venezuelan

[@TivoKenevil]

No precupation acabó no notation.

[@snigdha09]

[@wearemitu]

[@snigdha09]

[@averyanderson2588]

I played with Barbies, dinosaurs and cardboard boxes.🙂 Best years of my life.

[@wearemitu]

Allison Anderson those were the days, now kids don't go out and play because they are hooked with the internet !!! 😪

[@averyanderson2588]

Oops..... I became one of those teens. Lol.😅

[@rebecaj6045]

Haha! I was born in Canada but only spoke Spanish, so when I went to school all I could say were "yes" and "thank you". It's nice to laugh about this with your funny videos!

[@HelloKittylicious99]

When I first moved here from Puerto Rico when I was 5'I became best friends with a girl named Ophelia UNTIL SHE MOVED TO HAWAII AND SENT A PIC OF HER SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS bitch just up and left me. It's been 12 years I wonder what she's up to now

[@soraiadalmeida3584]

Girl, you so funny xD Keep those videos coming, Laura =D

[@Sabrina-sc1db]

I'm totally speaking german by creating a KRRRR KRRRRENSTEIN language inspired in your wachi wachi

[@WifeofaJer]

I raised my kids in the neighborhood I grew up in. Anyways I used to be upstairs and hear the tv come on. I would yell downstairs didn't I tell you kids to go outside and play. My kids would tell me they had been. This one day this little kid was sitting and watching tv. I didn't understand what he was saying. It turned out the foster mom was telling him to go see if he could play with my kids, but her spanish wasn't that good and He just thought she was telling him to go to my house. Hell I didn't mind he was the only one that picked up the toys and put them away. plus his snack papers. wow it has been a lot of years sonce then, I wonder how he is and if he went into a good home. He started really learning english and he had a sad story, but was a great kid.

[@alvarofavela2918]

I could relate to this video so much. I also came to this country when I was 7 years old and didn't speak a word of English (I wish I could speak wachi wachi, but I wasn't as lucky as you Laura). I also wanted to play with Barbie dolls but wasn't allowed to because, well, I'm a boy but that's another story lol 😂

[@mauri213]

My wife said her and her sister would just say "because" over and over again.

[@omarin7351]

I loved watching cable at my friend Sophia's house. My mom didn't let us have cable let alone watch it. We played with Barbies too (my mom actually has a collection herself -that I could only look at.)

[@aries1leo313]

Cracked up when u said ur barbie had no neck. Hahaha kuz my barbie was the same. My white friend was shocked when she saw it. It was like Lilo from Lilo & Stich showing her doll to the mean girls

[@almaguillot8597]

At what age did you begin to speak in proper english? Did it take you a long time?

[@nadiadesiree5696]

lmaoooo this video made 3rd period so much better

[@EstelaToon26]

Laura's videos have helped me so much through out my break up. She's such an upbeat person, thank you Laura

[@teresalopez-jones1076]

I spent a summer in Puerto Rico with my grandparents and their neighbor had a daughter my age that I spent time with. I was like 7 or 8 and by that time had forgotten a lot of the Spanish I had growing up because school ruined me and my grandparents moved back to Puerto Rico, so we had trouble understanding each other. But we got better as the summer went on or I would yell next door to have my nana translate. I showed her my fav snack, saltines with butter and she showed me Clarita. It was a wonderful friendship until she had to go back to school and couldn't play with me anymore. I found out later that my mom wanted to leave me in Puerto Rico, but I got homesick and begged to come home.

[@rocioperez2784]

your shirt matching the background decorations = gives me life .... makes me high on oxygen and stuff... not weird or anything. Oh and barbies, yeah i had three, used to give them radical "looks", specially the hair.. that thing never lasted long with me, i used to end up knitting them wigs and stuff, good times.

[@iluvzurara2]

so i love you cuz 1 you made my high school senior year fun with chongalicious and 2! i think you're the only other laura who introduces herself the way you say it in spanish and im like yessss finally! i hate introducing myself is lore-ah lmao it doesnt sound natural to me. even though i was born and raised here in the US i like the spanish pronunciation better =)

[@jennifermartin492]

This girl in my apartment complex in El Paso (live in Kansas now ) had this fancy white trunk where she stored all her Barbies so EFFING NEATLY and it fit snuggly under the bed she shared with her sister and I wanted to be just like her. Hell, I liked seeing the Barbies and their belongings stored so neatly almost as much as I liked playing with them 🤔 Also, one of my favorite things to do was cut out food from grocery store ads and glue it to cardboard and stock my Barbie Kitchen with it. Sadly, when we had to abruptly move to Kansas, my Barbies had to be left behind in “storage.” I spent every Saturday after that trying to when the Barbie sweepstakes that aired during Saturday morning cartoons. $200 worth of stuff could be all mine! When I grew up I ordered all the 90’s Barbie stuff off EBAY for my daughter. Man, what we’ll do for a damn Barbie!

[@laurengarcia6128]

wachi wachi is like simlish i’m crying 😭

[@miamartin2561]

i love laura's corner!

[@aprilgranados9286]

I watched this video a while ago and it made me crack up just like the first time I watched it. You are hilarious Laura!

[@isageosh]

I love your videos Laura! Please keep uploading

[@mjallen1308]

I love you and Jenny. You both are HILARIOUS!

[@moniiiiiiiiiiiiiiica]

OMG .-. this reminded me so much my childhood. I was a weird little girl with no friends or cousins or neighbors of my age when I started school, I was only around my family and other adults, so I was really polite and well educated, adults loved me, children hated me tho xD so I was one of the unpopular childs in school, my only friend was this other weird spoiled little girl, and we were friends only because no one else will make friends with us. But bright side was she had every Barbie/toy/snack a girl could dream of. Their parents were rich af, or at least at my age and economical level they seem rich af to me! Every kid in school assisted to her birthday parties not because they liked her, but because she would have the coolest parties with clowns, and ponies, and face paint, and candies... But she was SO ANNOYING, basically a brat, but in my 6 year old head I really didn't give a fuck! I loved going to her house, but I didn't like her that much 😂... Now I think it's horrible, but back in the day we didn't have a lot to pick from so...

[@mariaareyan417]

i’ve watched this video so many times and still not tired of it cuz it’s Laura and i can relate so much HAHA

[@eduardonavarro6005]

You're so talented and hilarious! love your facial expressions! Lmao! keep up the great work! btw here's a topic for you.....what parents say to their kids about Latin scary stories.

[@franz958]

Hi Laura. This is the 1st comment I leave on a KZbin video, ever! Just want to let you know I love watching your videos. The videos are so funny. Keep being you. 😊💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻

[@qv2945]

Pfft we went to the thrift stores to buy my Barbies and I had tons of them. However we did buy new ones and they were the special/protagonist Barbies. I also had tons of stuffed animals. Actually it's weird that I had a lot of toys during my school age considering my parents started from zero. Blessed 💕

[@AnaReyes-kd3nd]

she always has me dying😂😂 i love these segments man

[@andreag3382]

This is the best thing ever

[@michaelfilimon8510]

Just subscribed!!❤️💕

[@danllelyallen9716]

Hell jessica didn't even have to be in the room for me to be playing with her barbies... xD Laura you are the best!!!

[@anadiaz1950]

You have to make more Laura's Corner videos!

[@aruytpadyugf]

WOW this is so relatable!!!! When I was a little immigrant kid I did the same thing! But instead of washi washi, I would say appleappleapple over and over again. I really thought ppl would think I could actually speak english lol

[@remhenshaw4313]

Haha awww man this brings back so many funny memories...my sister and my 3 neighbor friends and i used Barbies, Ken dolls, action figures and make spy& espionage games we'd tie up the barbies w electric tape and stone them with dirt clods. aaah fun times 😂 I also was obsessed with beanie babies, and I had my collection from age 5 until I was 19.

[@yeseniadelaluz7820]

I died when she showed her Barbie without a neck 🤣 that shit is HILARIOUS asl 😂😂😂

[@is3339]

Lmfaoooo this is so relatable I did the same too 😭😂. Also came here when I was 7 years old !

[@IzaaaAnaherrera]

I laughed so hard when you showed that doll😂😂😂

[@elizabethcoyotl1883]

my best friend was a boy and I would go to his house and watch like. disney movies. I have a clear memory of watching mulan 2 at his house. I had another friend who lived on the other side of the neighborhood so I couldn't go to her house. but we would play soccer and ride bikes around. we were both tomboys so barbies were out of the question lol

[@lovebaileymarin]

Laura is life en serio.

[@xphlegm]

lmfao, Barbie with no neck was always a villain in my Barbie world too

[@elizabee4830]

Hahaha!!! 😂😂😂 I would make my own "English" words too!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@katyagutierrez6020]

okay so i was talking with my tia and she told me that when i was small i didn’t know any english yet so that’s all i said and rn while i’m watching this i’m so shocked that i wasn’t the only one so i’m tripping!!

[@MOsuna-xy8od]

I think i was Jessica. I had a friend named Yordana who lived next door. I asked her to come over and play Beauty Salon when she knocked on the door I said hi are you here to cut your hair today or dye it, and she said no I'm just here to eat some candy! Lol I miss you Yordi

[@danicoleb5394]

The Barbie I had didn't have a neck! LMFAO!

[@kcl060]

Underwear?!! I would DIE! I loved Barbies! I was known as the girl with the bag of Barbies on her handlebars because I would always ride down to my friend's on the other end of the neighborhood to play Barbies haha

[@marilumendoza4412]

The neck-less Barbie picture killed me😂😂

[@chessissi8358]

I did the same I made my own language up since I didn't know English.

[@cristinaflores-makeuplover]

hahahahaha la muñeca esa esta de madre...i loved it

[@unknowinglyhayden]

When I went to school kids threw sand at me and I threw sand back at them and the teacher got me trouble intstead of them because they blamed me and I didn't know English so I couldn't defend myself or explain what happened but know I know more English than ever 😂😃😂

[@amorzaki]

the edited ingles sin barreras cover sshsjdbd im screaminf

[@joselocalau123]

It’s so weird but when i was a little girl my cousins and i spoke our own version of english and we also used wachi for it. So yeah, maybe english is wachi wachi and we don’t realize

[@rossamorena]

MOREEE AWKWARD LAURA

[@linabelrivasceara519]

[@kayla8797]

[@krystalmarie1036]

[@fcnator]

Lol the pose she does after she says wachi wachi😂😂

[@nicholemaccalley9462]

Lol. When you said you speak wachi wachi in another video, I was all googling it, thinking it was an indigenous language. XD

[@IrishCat04]

i want a wachi wachi barbie

[@LERB423]

I was a tomboy (still I am, most of the time), so no so much barbies, just one, when I felt like sharing with other girls, instead of that I had a full set of Dragon Ball Z toys. I mostly played soccer, all the street games you can name, and also when I was a big child I've got kind of addicted to Playstation 1.

[@marisolaguiar9576]

i was such a tomboy i palyed with cars, dinosaurs, mario happy meal toy and Nintendo... my favorite color was blue, now im such a girly girl pink also black are my 2 fav colors...

[@ktherinep951]

When I started preschool I didn't speak any English because at home we only spoke Spanish!! I thought i was the only one who made up her own language

[@jackelineceja4753]

Man I wish I could make videos with you guys I'm Nicaraguan and I've gone and lived out there a few times I have so many stories 😭😭

[@victoria.7515]

La barbie sin cuello JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ

[@Grizzlybeartheneverending]

I used to play with dolls since i was14 it help me cope.

[@Rubi94Mari]

I had a neighbor who would also have the good snacks so I will take my brother with me so we can play with them but as soon as we were feed we would leave. Then one time they feed us a chicken leg like the claw...and we never went back.

[@PaisaVokal]

Barbies are the best thing ever !!!! lol I had a weird friend who i would play barbies with, she had EVERYTHING too !!!

[@LilyBLopez]

Bratz were my thing I never had a Barbie lol

[@LopezJosie]

[@oni.saurus]

[@chrisof03]

[@mimimomo1739]

[@Lovergirly745]

[@AngelinaCruz357]

[@CItlaly141]

[@lxna1208]

[@yasminkhoshnood228]

Cocosettes are just as good! I hope you at least got to eat those! Source: venezuelan mom 😃

[@yatzirimoreno7091]

I would say " wuchu wuchu " 😂

[@nathalinebedoya9143]

The Barbie with no neck 😂😂

[@uriellopez6454]

I can't get over the neck-less Barbie 😂

[@valenciasanchez93]

I did the same thing except I didn’t speak Spanish. I only spoke English and I was trying to play with the bilingual kids but didn’t know Spanish so I started blabbing stuff acting like I did. I think I was in second grade. And I played with barbies.

[@McrimsonnyxM]

I think I was the weird kid lol when I was 5, I think, (or younger) I made friends with our neighbor a boy. My mom doesn't know what language he spoke, but all she knows is that he was asian and that we would have conversations in his language. It's strange really, but cool 👍

[@itssam8944]

now we know where we got Groot from

[@callmeVHS]

I remember watching this in Snapchat one time and I Cringed so hard about the innovative English

[@claudiamador290]

Pero like, my sister was the one who had dolls. Bratz dolls, and you know being the little sister I am I wanted to play with them too. So instead of playing with her and annoy her like I already did, my parents one Bratz doll my parents got me. The moment I saw that you have to take off their legs to put shoes on, I never touched the dolls again. I was like 👀👀 yooo that ain't right, and my sister got to keep it. I've never been so creeped out by a DOLL.

[@cecilia08yeah]

I love this video it's really cute and funny. when I was a kid me and my sisters used to love to play Barbies. we didn't have a lot of stuff for them so we would improvise their cars were shoes. the Barbies beds were bandanas.

[@ivanroxx92]

Barbies are everything

[@remhenshaw4313]

" and 4 Kens to please them all" 😂😂😂😏

[@gabym5546]

I LOVE YOU1

[@revileparagon8824]

Worth it tho, now I'm trilingual!

[@Waokele7]

I am white and grew up in Mexican School and learn to write Spanish. so in my first time of great School in the states I could not understand why the teachers were so upset so I couldn't write in English here is how I wrote the word "state" steit the teacher would ask me to write the word. "house" I would.write haus

[@GlamByLor]

People wanna know who Jessica is !!!! JESSICA !!

[@kayra4615]

Lol Barbie “sinque” aka sin quello or Barbie “head an choulder” aka head and shoulders, without a neck
