Persuasion

I have invented a new method of persusasion. It involves grabbing a bowl of burned, unwanted, mishaped pieces of popped corn microwaved snacks and stuffing them in my cousin's mouth while saying, "Come!"

Then, I take a handful of burned popcorn and saying, "Come todo. Come todo!" When my ungrateful relative refuses the blackened crap, I say, "Toma!" And then, "Quieres." It is up to you to decide if I am saying, "Quieres? or Quieres!".

Aside from food offering, I have taught my family some useful tidbits. One of them being me seriously explaining to Melaina, who was reading a magazine at the moment, that you MUST eat only the inside part of an egg, never the outer part, aka, the shell. Then it also includes telling Papito y Malena that you must never say "cajones", okay? (They were on the subject of ME saying offensive material.)

Also, I had a productive day at el parque today. I claimed residence in a playhouse, and called it Mi Casa and become angered when an otro nene visited and slid down the slide and crawled through the tunnels. I said, "Otro nene no! Mi casa! Mi casa!" I thought he had left but I heard his annoyingly pissy way of sucking hungrily on a pacifier, and that made me shriek, "Nene!" in an annoyed tone. Papito y Mamita especially are thrilled that we are now in America, because when I insulted a child and its mother, the mother grinned and said, "How adorable! Spanish! Hola, hola!" I grimaced at the ignorant bunch and went on my way, as I plan to do now.

Adios contento,
