You know are you a Latino or Latina when...
- Your mother yells at the tuktok of her lungs to call you to hapunan and you only live in a small apartment/house.
- You know at least one person in your family named Maria, Carlos, Juan, Jose, Tito or Luis.
- You are in a 4-passenger car with 7 people in it and a person shouting, "SUBANSE, TODAVIA CABEN!" (jajaja)
- You get people's attention sa pamamagitan ng saying "chhh chhh" or "Pssssst."
- Your grandmother thinks she has the miracle cure for everything.
-You have your country's flag hanging in your car/bedroom/house...
-You're an adult and you're still forced to be with your family at 12 midnight on New Year's Eve
-Others tell you to stop screaming when you are really just talking! (oh god, this has happened to me so many times!)
- In your barrio, there are madami people on the streets at 3am than 3pm
- You consider it rude when you throw a party and people ipakita up on time... while you are still making preparations (obvio)!
- No matter what country you are in, you always greet people with a halik on the cheek...even though they consider it an invasion of their personal space.
- You have watched many TELENOVELAS, several of them with similar concepts, but still tune in every day.
- You have dinners/reunions in your house with madami people that can actually fit, and nobody comes to complain about the noise.
-You usually complain about things that are wrong with your country, but the segundo you leave, you look for every oportunity to tell EVERYONE how great it is!
