Because I’m Mexican I made Ben a killer quesadilla for dinner… after all Mexican food is my specialty 🙂
Because I’m Mexican, and have quite the voluptuous booty, means my quesadilla must be much smaller so I still fit in my pants…
Because I’m Mexican I will not admit that the beans on this salad are from a can. My abuelita would be so ashamed…
Because I’m Mexican I will call my afternoon snack an escamocha and not fruit salad with cottage cheese…
Because I’m Mexican I will justify drinking an iced coffee this afternoon as a way to avoid a siesta…
Because I’m Mexican “yo quiero pan dulce” for dessert… (source)
but I only had Kashi cookies for dessert so I ate those (con leche)…
Because I’m Mexican I was in Ballet Folklorico when I was a kid… even though I looked very out of place with my red hair and lack of skin pigment…
That’s nothing a little blue eye shadow and red lipstick couldn’t help…
Because I’m Mexican I made my first Holy Communion when I was in second grade. Well, technically that’s a Catholic thing, but it really goes hand in hand, right? Ha, look at my mom and dad. Funny
Because I’m Mexican I wear too much make-up and huge gold earrings when I go out. Caliente!
Because I’m Mexican I can post all these things…
“Si Yo Puedo”
I also had my First Holy Communion when I was in second grade. Your picture is really similar to mine. Teehee.
Love the old school pics from Disneyland Folklorico days. We were so fancy!
Ha! I’m glad you caught that 🙂
I love Mexican food!! I gained 5 pounds in Dallas over the course of a week because I went to town on all the Mexican food down there.
Me gusta! It made me wonder: Where did your red hair come from? (I’m Italian and have blonde hair … so I feel you.)
Eria, genes are so weird! I have no idea how it happened!
LOVE this post! Very creative and oh, so true. My husband is Mexican but I always feel that I am more Mexican than he is. Thanks for the early morning laugh!
Love this post, I thought immediately like Freya about copying this idea. Except I am German so my post would include lots of beer, kraut and inappropriate Octoberfest costumes. 🙂
Lol, how did you get red hair? Genetics are so funny. I found Veggie Sticks at my grocery store this morning and bought a bag. Half of it is now gone. Gah! A new addiction.
Cute pictures of Little Monica!
I’m not a Mexican, but I grew up in Pico Rivera, so I know of what you speak! I miss pan dulce, home made tortillas (mais) and menudo!
I love having someone else that can represent Pico with me!
haha , love the post! Your a beautiful red head Mexican girl!
Those Kashi cookies are too good for something from a box. Mine all got hard because I let them sit open too long 🙁 But the microwave makes them nice and gooey 🙂
Evan, it’s borderline sac-religious to let cookies get stale 🙁 You better eat them faster next time!
Love that post!!! Too cute!
hilarious! i learned about ballet folklorico in my spanish class. it’s really cool you were in it
Haha love the post theme! I should do a “because I’m Guatemalan” post and copy you (imitation is the best form of flattery?)
Have a great weekend!
I love your post themes! I need to start taking some inspiration from you 🙂
Have a good evening!
