It's a Mexican Thing

I saw this posted somewhere in cyberspace. Yes, it made me laugh. (hey, I've experienced that!) Oh my God, that too! Ave Maria! Hope you aren't offended by it.

Ser mexicano

If you can run and play any sport while wearing chanclas ...Mexican status!!


If your late Tio left you a van and you turned it into a taco vending business ... Yes, you're a Mexican.

If you have ever hurt yourself and your Mamacita rubbed the area while chanting, "Sana, Sana, Colita de rana ..." You're Mexican, big time!!!

If you have your last name in old English lettering anywhere on your car, truck, or tattooed on your back. Yes, you ARE a Mexican (proud one too).

If you refer to your wife as your Ruca, your Hina, your Wifa, your Old Lady, or your Vieja, guess what? You're a Mexican.

If you throw a "Grito" every time you hear Vicente Fernandez, then not only are you a Mexican, but you are a drunk Mexican.

If you have ever been pinched in church and been told "pobrecito de ti si lloras" or "Vas a ver orita que salgamos.Yes, you're definitely a Mexican.

If you grew up scared of someone called La Llorona, or fear the dark because of El CuCuy! Yes! Mexican!

Si te persinas with a lotto ticket in your hand before every drawing. You're in the Mexican Zone!!!

If you ask for something by "dame esa chingadera" instead of calling it by its name. Yup! Mexican!

If you constantly refer to cereal as "con fleys" or cake as "kay ke". You're a Mexican.

If you use manteca instead of vegetable oil and can't figure out why your butt is getting bigger ... You might be a Mexican.

If you have some Tias that dress up in their prom dresses to go to a birthday party at "el parque". You are a Mexican.

If your Tias and Abuela dress up in their Sunday best with heels and all to go to the "pulga." (AKA the Flea Market)Then, yes, you are a Mexican.

If most of the houses on your block are painted bright pink, mintgreen, and purple. Mexican.

If you use the bushes in front of your house, the fence, or the top of an old car to dry laundry. Yes, you're a Mexican.

If you're congested and your Mamasita rubbed "Bicks" into yournostrils and gives you "jugo de sebolla" with sugar, (grandma's recipe) to help relieve your symptoms. You're Mexican.

IF YOU DON'T NEED ANY EXPLANATIONS FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE, YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE A TRUE MEXICAN. VIVA LA RAZA!!!
You know you're laughing your head off. It's all in fun, so don't get all "adoloridos." Just pass it on so another Mexican can laugh too
