Happy Cinco de Mayo to you all!
Writing these words in Spanish reminds me of a comment made by Elena a couple of years ago. We were having enchiladas at Bea's and she was eyeing the pastries. I mentioned that while I love Mexican food in general, I don't care for their pastries.
She looked at me as a parent looks at a child who's said something wrong. "Yenna, I don't think you can say that to me," she said. "Because I think I am a little bit Mexican."
Two of my grands are "a little bit Mexican," but it took my then-six-year-old granddaughter to educate me on political correctness and etiquette--even though I still don't like Mexican pastries.
