Birthday Tarta

October 9, 2011

                My host Padre made me an apple tart for my birthday! My Madre said I could have no more than 4 friends over to eat it today. It ended up being Claire, Haley, Olivia, Kelsey and me. I felt like we were having a tea party. We sat around the round table in the living room and my Madre served us tea. Then my padre comes into the living room with my tart lit with candles on it! They sang happy birthday to meeeee. The apple tart was so so so good. They made us all eat 2 giant pieces and then made us eat candy as well. I feel like I’m always being hazed in the form of food. I guess it could be worse.

                The conversation was hilarious to listen to. My padres sat around the table with us and it was pretty much just a show. The things that come out of my Madre’s mouth are hilarious. She kept asking all of my friends why they didn’t have boyfriends yet. Claire and I have already had to answer this question on more than one occasion. My Padre has already told me that I’m running out of time because I’ll be 22 soon.  Meh, I’m okay with being an old maid I guess.  Words of wisdom/concern  from my Madre:  “In my day you had to wait for the boy to approach you. However, you girls can just go up to a boy and tell him you like him and then he’s your boyfriend. What’s the problem?” Well damn. Meanwhile, she also kept trying to force feed my friends. She is a professional hazer. We finished that whole apple tart.
