Advent Calendar: families

Advent Calendar:

Dec 11
My cousin Lizette's response to my post about orange peels was that "Mom says your full of it." The Mendez clan went to New York together and never separated. Lizette's mom, the youngest daughter of the oldest of the Mendez sisters and my mother, the youngest sibling of the 13 Mendez children were compatriots. She probably knows as much about my mother as anyone else and if she disagrees with something will, like they all will, call "bullshit!". (Mierda) . Male or female, there are few "B Personality" types in our family. I'm not sure if it's class or culture but we all have the same bawdy and raucous way of talking and, surprisingly, we get it from the women. The women are all so much alike. They are all strong, brook no nonsense, talk plainly and brusquely, are acerbic, and honest. So, I read the comment and chuckled, because it probably doesn't do justice to what and how she said it. What Puca probably said was something like "Que sabe ese pendejo?" (What's that jerk off know?)
