“Donde me dan las doce”
Mi padre sabía sacar enseñanzas de las situaciones y personas más impensadas. Solía contar que un día le preguntó: “Y tú, Fanjúl, ¿dónde duermes?”; y él respondió: “Donde me dan las doce”.
"Wherever I am when get tired"?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Wherever I happen to be when midnight strikes.
La frase "Donde me dan las doce" en este contexto no se traduce literalmente como "Wherever I am when get tired". En realidad, es una expresión idiomática que puede ser difícil de traducir directamente al inglés, pero se refiere a la respuesta de Fanjúl sobre dónde duerme. Aquí, "las doce" es una referencia a medianoche, por lo que la respuesta de Fanjúl implica que duerme dondequiera que esté cuando llega la hora de medianoche. O en español latinoamericano: "Donde me agarra la noche"
Una posible traducción podría ser: "Wherever I happen to be when midnight strikes." Esto transmite el significado de que Fanjúl duerme en cualquier lugar donde se encuentre cuando llega la medianoche.
In his autobiography, the Spanish writer recounted a poignant moment between his father and a homeless man in their village. When his father asked the man where he slept, the man replied simply, 'Wherever I happen to be when midnight strikes.' This respon

Obviously, there are no hats mentioned in the original query, but the meaning is pretty much the same.

Por otra parte, es muy fácil omitir dichos signos cuando se haga la entrada en el glosario.
