Latinas only...

THE PHONE CALL...

La Mama: 'Hello?'

La Hija: 'Hi Mama. Can I leave the boys with you tonight?'

'You're going out?'

'Yes.'

'Con quien?'

'With a friend.'

"I don't know why you left your husband. Siempe te queria and he was such a good man.'

'Mom. I didn't leave him. He left me!'

'You let him leave you, and now you go out with these anybodies and nobodies.'

'MA, I do not go out with anybody. Can I bring over the boys?'

'Ni una ves te deje to go out with anybody, except your father.'

'There are lots of things you did and I simply refuse.'

'Que quieres deceir?'

'Nothing, I just want to know if I can bring the kids over tonight.'

'You're going to stay the night with him? Pues que va decir tu esposo?'

'MA!!! HE'S NOT MY ESPOSO...HE'S MY EX HUSBAND!! I don't think he would be bothered considering the day he left me, he's never slept alone!'

'So you're going to sleep over at this loser's place?'

'MOM, HE'S NOT A LOSER!'

'Un hombre no debe salir con una mujer divorciada y con ninos? No tiene verguenza!'

'MA, I DON'T WANT TO ARGUE; SHOULD I BRING OVER THE BOYS OR NOT?'

'Mis pobres nietos with such a mother.'

'SUCH A WHAT?'

'Sin estabilidad!!. No wonder your husband left you.'

'ENOUGH MA!!!'

'No me grites! You probably scream at the loser too!'

'GREAT MA, now you're worried about the loser?'

'AH HA! VES, I TOLD YOU...HE IS A LOSER. I SPOTTED HIM IMMEDIATELY!'

'GOODBYE, MOTHER!'

"ESPERATE...DON'T HANG UP! QUANDO VAS A TRAER MIS ANGELITOS? '

'I'M NOT BRINGING THEM OVER! I'M NOT GOING OUT!"

'AYE DIOS MIO!!! IF YOU NEVER GO OUT, HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO MEET ANYONE?

Besos,
Monica

  4. What, wait a sec, just got dejavu, although the details are different, the rolloer coaster ride of emotions in a 5 min phone call seem to stay the same. Ay, ya, yai.

    I always think that talking more makes some things better. I've learned that through the years of being an hija.

    Thanks for sharing with us Monica, I think we can all relate one way or the other.

    xoxo,
