it's funny because it's true

I got this from my sister and couldn't stop giggling. Our parents are both from Mexico, we still have aunts, uncles and over 30 cousins living there, and we can honestly relate to every point. Man, I hated the chancla and really miss my mom's tamales!

YOU KNOW YOU'RE MEXICAN IF...

• You have ever been hit by a chancla
• You can play any sport wearing your chanclas
• You grew up scared by something called "El Cucuy"
• Others tell you to stop screaming when you are really just talking
• You use your lips to point something out
• You constantly refer to cereal as "con fleis"
• Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner even if it's a one-bedroom apartment
• You can dance ranchera, cumbia or salsa without music
• You call your sneakers "tenees"
• You have at least thirty cousins
• You can't imagine anyone not liking spicy food
• You are in a 5-passenger car with 8 people in it and a person shouting "subanse, todavia caben mas!"
• Tamales, champurrado, posole and menudo are must haves on Thanksgiving
• There is more Tequila than punch at little Juanito's birthday party
• There is at least one member in your family named Maria, Guadalupe, Juan, Jose, or Jesus
• You swear "Choco Mil" is the same as Slim Fast and try to lose weight by drinking it
• You have a drunk uncle/aunt
• You not only know who Don Francisco from Sabado Gigante is, but you tell people he's your tio!
• You have ever had to tell your kid /or been told not to walk the floor barefoot or they'll/you'll catch a cold
• You go to a wedding or Quinceñera, gossip about how bad the comida is, but be the first to take a plato to go
• Your cousins are delinquents / hoochies
• You have a chola in your barrio named "La Flaca" who's bigger than a house
• You need to point out how much something you just bought cost

!Viva Mexico!
