Love is when Mami sends you a care package in the mail!
Insanity is when the package is all frozen food!
Mami: Oh, well I sent it Priority. And its December. So cold here...

And what she sent are "pasteles" which are like Puerto Rican tamales. They look awful and are OK. Not my jam but it's a holiday thing and its funny beacuse Mami thinks whatever other lonely Puerto Rican woman she found in back o beyond Ohio has the LOCK on PR food in Ohio
But we live in Cleveland which some says has too many Puerto Ricans. Enough that there is a TOP TEN list of pasteles places in Cleveland!

Guys these look like Green Goblin turds when FRESH but after four days in some mail room, it's a sluice of cold plantain juice all over the counter. It's like Kevin's chili except folks were hyped for that.
My kids, already being little picks at a 6th grade level, scrambled around the package. "A gift! From abu! Yay!"
But, nope, much to their chagrin it is just a triple wrapped bag of banana mush water that feels like one of these

Mami: Oh, it would have been fine if the mail wasn't so slow. Its Trump's fault!

All said...I love my mother very much and appreciate all she did for me but a hefty distance (near infinite) is really what is needed to thrive.
Fin!
Fin!
