Funny and inappropriate things my host mom has said

One time she was talking about her 32 year old son who's wife is 5 months pregnant with their first child and explaining how so far they haven't been able to decipher it's gender from the ultrasounds, but during the most recent one they were able to see. She then started going into great detail about how they knew it was a boy. Apparently, the other times the baby was curled up, but this time it had moved and its legs were open. Then she explained (in spanish) how when it's legs were open they could see its cojones (balls) and opened her eyes really wide and brought both her hands together and did sort of a cupping and grabbing motion to make sure I really knew what she meant by "cojones".

Today, she was explaining how she rode horses when she went to her other son's property in Guanacaste. She told us how uncomfortable she was after riding them and started walking around the kitchen crouching down completely bow-legged to demonstrate how she had to walk for the rest of the day. Then she put her hands on the inside of her thighs and made a face like she was in a lot of pain and said "It was like honeymoon".
