You know you are at a SERIOUS Mexican Birthday Party IF:
1. Some of the guest didn't bring a gifts, but brought extra uninvited kids.
2. When the cake says "Happy Birthday Mijo" instead of the child's real name.
3. The party is at Chuck E Cheese but they brought their own food, cake, and a pinata.
4. It's a child's party but there are more grown-ups than children.
5. It's "Mijo's" 1st Birthday and the party food is BBQ, arroz con beans, y 10 cases de Budweisers.
6. For entertainment, instead of playing pin the tail on the donkey, there is usually a live fight.
7. They don't sing Happy Birthday, instead everyone is still dancing > > "La Macarena".
8. There are twenty kids at the party but no parents (....They got dropped off)
9. The party was over at 5:00, it's 8:00 and somebody's kids are STILL there.
10. You find out that Tio left Abuela propped-up in a corner chair and told her not to move till he came back for her..... tomorrow.
11. The invitations said Pool Party, you get there and the men are playing billiards in the car port.
12. The host calls someone who's on their way and tells them to stop and get some ice.
13. The guest start arriving and the hostess disappears to get ready.
14. You had to borrow some food stamps from your cousin to buy the party food.
15. You know you're going to have to go to the flea market to sell some of the presents that "mijo" got to pay your cousin back for the food stamps.
16. You hear someone go up to the birthday child and say "Mira, tan cute! I'm going to have to get you something next week when I get paid, okay?".
17. The party wasn't planned, the birthday child just went outside and announced," Hey, Mommy said I'm getting ready to have a Birthday Party, come over!!!!".
18. The party is Saturday, so you got a call from the hostess Friday night saying, "I'm giving Mijo a birthday party tomorrow at 3:00".
19. Some guests bring gifts that are still in the store bag ("The Dollar Store") ..unwrapped.
20. They don't serve punch, you get Kool-Aid. And instead of Hot Dogs and chips you get Vienna sausages in WonderBread.
21. The Baby's Daddy (the Mommy's ex-boyfriend) and the Mommy's boyfriend (the one that the baby seems to like more) are both there and the baby keeps calling them both "Daddy!"
22. There always seems to be more family than friends at the party.
23. You have the party over at your brother's because he just bought a new house and he has a pool table in the car port.
24. The cake didn't come from the store; it came from the 'viejita' down the block who makes really good cakes.
25. You are told you have to hold on to the plate that you ate your food on..........so you can eat your cake.
26. Someone calls and says they cant make it but asks that you save them some cake in a to-go-plate for when they pass by later.
27. You're offended because it makes you think of last years Drive-by.
28. Guest are wrapping up cake to take to Mommy, Tio, Abuela, Chata y Junior.
29. The party music is coming from the trunk of someone's car.
30. The birthday child is dressed from head to toe in Tommy Hilfiger.
31. The birthday baby's Daddy comes to the party and brings the kids he had before and after the Birthday Baby.
32. It's "Mijo's" party but since his cousin Amber is there and her birthday is in a few days, it becomes Mijo's and Amber's Party.

Dear Rich, I'm going to explin why I do not speak too much!
See, when I came here all gringos were mean at me, because I have accent, I like chile and I'm "chaparrita" (short). In my work the "gringos" all was pushing me to work harder. So, I always has mexican friends.
But I have few gringos friends now. So, when I started look at Juan I see this mychruch thing and I said to my neice help. She helped me to put everything together. And guess what happened? Many good gringos asked me to be my friends!!! Now I like so much the online gringos, see they treat me with respect and for the first time some english people asked for my frienship. I wish my world where 100% of the time online.
Thank you to all my new friends. If you want to be my friend just ask me and I push the accept bottom right away!
Gracias amigos!
