Kids, an ongoing post

#1. try not to take them to 'adult' parties
#2. don't take them to wash clothes really late at night and wonder why they keep whining
#3. teach them to dance
#4. I may not agree that he is not ready but, I will be supportive until he is

At a certain age you want to push boundaries. It might be done subconsciously; it's something that's exhilarating and dangerous. But, there are things that just should not be pushed. Want to stay out till 2 am dancing, tagging, or just chillin', fine but don't risk walking down dark corridors or drinking out of botellas destapadas.

 #5. kids become fussy and/or whiny after they start to feel better from being sick

Instead,                I close my eyes &                remember mom,      twirling in her long denim-blue dress              on our porch                             under the rain. Mom would take us                outside in the rain                to bathe together,    ...
