Google Trends

As a Mexican American girl I grew up in a home where my mom made sure we were proud and understood our culture, but today I can still remember the things that I found hilarious that she would do, I at first would be confused by the things she would do but eventually concluded that these were things that she not only enjoyed but loved doing.

If you are Mexican read along you might be able to relate.

1. Early Morning Spanish Music That Wakes You Up.

I remember waking up every morning to hear trumpets and guitars and the first thing that would come to my mind was my mom.

2. Making All The Food Extra Spicy

I always say that my mom's favorite thing to do is to make all her food spicy although she denies it and says that I am exaggerating, her food is very delicious.

3. Always Making You Talk On The Phone With Those Relatives You Don't Know.

I remember my mom always calling aunts, uncles, and relatives I have never met in my life then suddenly she calls my name and as I walked up to her she handed me the phone and I was on the phone with someone I did not know.

4. Making You Clean Your Room, Even If It Was Clean.

My mom would always tell me clean my room and I wouldn't understand why she needed me to clean something that was already clean, but either way I always remember hearing "Limpias tu cuarto."

5. Throwing Chanclas At You Every Time You Were Disrespectful

I recall dodging chanclas to save my life, whether it was to get my attention or simply because I answered the wrong way or did something I wasn't supposed to my mom was sure to throw one of these.

6. Always Watching Shows Like Laura Or Mujer Casos De La Vida Real.

My mom loved to watch the Laura show and although it made me laugh to her it was a daily routine that if she didn't do she didn't have a good day. I mean after all who could forget her famous catch phrase " Que pase el desgraciado!"

7. When They Would Tell You Something "Es Cosa Del Diablo" Or " A Thing Of The Devil.

I remember my mom always telling me that things that I enjoyed doing or things that I liked where things of the devil.

8. When Ever You Hurt Yourself Instead Of Comforting You Telling To Try It Again.

I remember if I would ever fall and scrap my knee or hurt myself she would tell me " Hazlo otra vez," " Do it again" no as a challenge but almost as telling me that is what you get for doing something stupid.

9.Putting Vapor Rub On Everything.

My mom's solution to everything was rubbing vapor rub on everything it made sense when it was a cold, but if i burned myself, or i had mosquito bites, or even if my body was sore to her it was always, " Ven deja te ponjo vaporu." or "come here let me put vapor rub on you"

10. Planning Quiceaneras.

In Mexican culture Quinceañeras were a very important stage in a girls life and you can bet that the person behind all the planning was your mom. Whether it was arguing with your Tia Carmen about the center piece or picking the color of your dress she always has a say.

Although many of these things seem a little bit funny and kind of crazy we must all admit that at the end of the day these things are all amazing we love our mothers and their habits are just a huge part of the culture I mean after all we are Mexicans.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
