I translated it more along the lines of "Be careful wid dat stuff".  But
I'll admit, that's partially contextual.  "teng" ain't spanish - I think
it's supposed to be "tengo" meaning "I have".... "que" is "that" or "what"
in a question... and "cuidado" means something like care, careful, be
careful, caution, etc.  "que tengo cuidado" doesn't translate gracefully, at
least not to me, but it looks like "I have caution" or "I am cautious of
that" or something.

Maybe we should just ask Rick.
