You Know You're Puerto Rican When...
-You got scared whenever someone mentioned "el CUUUCO!" (I did, I would
cry for hours.)
-You've gone to titi's (aunt's) house and passed through the "bead curtain" in the living room.
-Someone in your family is named Maria, Charlie, Papo, Ana or Carmen.
-All cereal is called "con-flei."
-You've put a penny on your forehead to stop a nose bleed.
(My dad still makes me do this; I'm 22 years old.)
-Your grandmother thinks Vick's vapor-rub is the miracle cure for everything. (Uh, it is!)
-You call rug-carpeta , roof-rufo, parking-palkin, stress-estress, library-libreria (instead of biblioteca), boiler-boila, sucker-soca, or to knock-noquiar.
-You have told your kid not to walk the floor barefoot or they'll catch a cold. (I'd get in trouble for that
all the time.)
-You need a cup of coffee after every meal, espresso boricua style "con leche".
-Oh, and of course, your meals consist of rice, beans and some kind of meat.
Hooray for being Puerto Rican!
