Don't make mine an ice cream float

I was in Ensenada, Mexico, and asked the waiter not to give the children ice cream (helado) in their drinks when I meant to ask for him not to give them ice cubes (los cubos del hielo)! I realized it later, though the waiter, politely, did not even blink at what I had said and he brought the glasses without ice or ice cream. The kids never let me forget that!
