Some reasons as to why I am so great like chocolate cake
Meet my best friend. He listens to The Killers, to some french chick with a sexy voice, and to a Fiona Apple CD my boyfriend got him for christmas last year. He sends hair to kids with cancer, mails letters of praise to Mr. Peanut and he brings me veggies on the micro.
When the bus driver blasts fuzz in your ears for 6 hours straight , he’ll cut the wire. He feels cold in 65 degree weather. He never goes running with me no matter what the weather , but he’ll throw me his Ipod on the way out the door.
He eats 6 eggs in one sitting, sometimes before going back for seconds, (dont tell Charo) and sometimes with salt (really dont tell Charo) He always shares his bread with the kids, with the town crazy , with passers by , with me. He hates apples in salads, but he likes them sliced with lemon juice, and he prefers crunchies in the peanut butter.
He comes to visit me and here is what usually happens; he carrieis all the heavy things that need carrying; burns all the wasps that need burning; tosses all of the children brave enough to come within arm’s distance of him; usually, he breaks a few things too (my bes, the lid to my big pot, my fake boomerang from australia just to name a few)
Sometimes when he laughs he giggles. He rarely dances and has no idea how immensly happy it makes me when he does. He often falls in love at first sight. He always listens to my gripes and always, but always gripes back with me.
He stays in the city too long. talks too loud and pours all his heart into hs work. When that work doesnt go as planned he has been known to yell in sputtering spanish. It is funny to listen to him do that.
I only know about all the nice things he said about me because other people have told me about them. He denies every single one. But if you wanna piss him off do something to disrespect me….or you can just mention religion.
He calls me when he doesnt know what to do with his parents in a bloqueo, and when he cant remember exactly how that pick up lie goes in spanish. I call him when it is ate and I’ve left and I want to tell someone “I got home okay” (or i just call Sean)
This year he had a double quinceanara. He is very smart for a double fifteen year old. For instance, he knows that a shooting star isnt a star at all, he can recite every animal fact there is, and he will tell you with excitement exploding from his eyes exactly when the Earth’s gonna interfere wit hthe moon’s light…or something like that.
He loves orchids, Florida , American Football, Fast Break Bars, and Bolivian women. And me. Maybe he’s a stinky boy who oogles too much and occasionally has days full off really bad decisions, but you konw what? I love him too. And without him my two years out here in the campo would have been near impossible, and a lot less fun.
So, muchas thanks you…FAT BOY!
