My Madre Gossips About Me

Alexandra came over yesterday to hang out for a bit before the movie. I offered her a cup of coffee as I made one for myself, but she was content with chocolate alone. When I returned home from the theater later that night, my madre greeted me with playful punches at my arm, saying how bad mannered I am. "Excuse me, Asencion, but that's rude." She was referring to the one lonely cup of coffee in the sink, as if I hadn't offered one for Alex too. When I saw Alex this morning and told her about it, she already knew. Asencion had already reported to Alex's madre, and Alex's madre to Alex. Sheesh, Spanish women.
