“Mamá and I are making ropa vieja, tostones y aguacate for your feast day. What do you want for dessert?” Papá asked. “Some delicious mangos, right from the tree!”
“I think you are old enough to get the mangos,” said Papá. “All by myself?” “Yes, mi’jo .” “ ¡Qué padre!” “Do you remember where the tree is?” asked Papá. “ Sí, Papá. Past Tío Tito’s house, and Abuela’s house, and crabby Tía Clara’s house, through the park, to the mango tree.” “Very good! You remember! And Tía Clara is not crabby. She is just lonely. Go bring us back some mangos!” said Papá.
