¿Has escuchado de una abuela que cocine tamales terribles?

Las Abuelas Hispanas
Latin Post

Es fácil imaginar a la abuela típica. Para la mayoría de nosotros cuando pensamos en nuestras abuelas, pensamos en las mujeres mayores y amables que miman y malcrían a sus nietos. En muchos casos, esta opinión es muy correcta. Sin embargo, la caracterización de este tipo de abuela no aplica para las abuelas hispanas.

Indudablemente, las abuelas hispanas superan alguno que otro tipo de abuela en la cocina. ¿Has escuchado de una abuela que cocine tamales terribles? Yo tampoco. Lamentablemente, esta característica de la abuela típica es la única que es consistente a la opinión de la sociedad en general.

La mayoría de la gente que han interactuado con las abuelas hispanas saben que firmes y exigentes se pueden poner. Es interesante porque no tratan de ser malas la mayoría del tiempo. Simplemente las abuelas hispanas dicen lo que estén pensando, y no tienen vergüenza en absoluto de decirlo. La abuela siempre va a cocinar cosas riquísimas. Pero, si ella ve que uno de sus amigos o miembros de la familia han subido de peso, entonces Abuela no vacilará decir, “¡Dios mío. Pareces una vaca!”

Esta audacia se origina del orgullo insalvable de las abuelas hispanas. Los comentarios francos no son solamente para la gente que ella conoce. Si hay alguna cosa que Abuela le tiene que decirle a alguien, la prudencia no debe interponerse. Cualquier declaración que pudiera ser interpretada como racista, sexista o de alguna otra manera inapropiada puede castigar a una inocente víctima. No importa si la víctima lo merece o no. Por ejemplo, si Doña Bruni piensa que pidió un bistec sin setas y el bistec viene con setas, Doña Bruni no tendrá problema en acusar a la mesera de intento de asesinato, pues debió haber sabido de las alergias de la pobre abuela. No importa si la Doña especificó las condiciones preferidas del bistec, la mesera va a tener la culpa.

A pesar de todas las situaciones posibles en que una abuela pueda ofender a alguien, no habrá duda que ella tenga un amor fuerte para la gente cercana a ella. Aunque a veces son demasiado francas, siempre ofrecen el apoyo, amor y sabiduría a la gente que lo necesitan. En verdad, las abuelas hispanas son individuales muy especiales.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
