* WARNING * If you're a wee bit too culturally sensitive, do not read this.

Since my life is so devoid of anything exciting and my brain has shriveled to the size of a pea, I'll post this forward my friend Yvette sent me. Gave me a chuckle, so I'm dedicating this to those who might understand it...Norma, Bucket, Jenn, Odie. You are my homies. ;)

Check your Mexican status...

If you can run and play any sport while wearing chanclas....Mexican status!!

If your late Tio left you a van and you turned it into a taco vending business, Yes, you're a Mexican.

If you pronounce words beginning with the letter "S" byputting an "E" in front of it, (estop instead of stop), big timeMexican.

If you call a chair, a sher, you got it.... Mexican.

If you have ever hurt yourself and your mamacita rubbed thearea while chanting, " Sana, Sana, Colita de rana....." You're Mexican, big time.

If you have your last name in old English lettering anywhere on your car, truck, or tattooed on your back. Yes, you ARE aMexican (proud one too).

If you refer to your wife as your ruca, your hina, yourwifa, your old lady, or your vieja, guess what? Not only are you aMexican, you're a cholo.

If you throw a "Grito" every time you hear Vicente Fernandez, then not only are you a Mexican, but you are a drunk Mexican.

If you have ever been pinched in church and been told "pobrecito de ti si lloras" or "Vas a ver ahorrita que salgamos." Yes,you're definitely a Mexican.

If you grew up scared of La Llorona, or fear the darkbecause of El CuCuy! Yes! Mexican!

Si te persinas with a lotto ticket in your hand before every drawing. You're in the Mexican Zone!!!

If you ask for something by "dame esa chingadera" instead of calling it by its name. Yup! Mexican!

If you constantly refer to cereal as "con fleys" or cake as"kay-ke". You're a Mexican.

If you use manteca instead of vegetable oil and can't figureout why your butt is getting bigger......You might be a Mexican.

If you have some Tias that dress up in their prom dresses to go to a birthday party at "el parque". You are a Mexican.

If most of the houses on your block are painted brightpink, mint green, and lavender. Mexican.

If you're congested and your mamasita rubbed "Bicks".You're Mexican.

IF YOU DON'T NEED ANY EXPLANATIONS FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE,YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE A TRUE MEXICAN. VIVA LA RAZA!!!

You know you're laughing your head off. It's all in fun, so don't get all "adoloridos." Just pass it on so another Mexican can laugh too.

Mujer...you are too funny. Totally needed this laugh. I can totally relate, especially with the corn flakes thing. My grandmother would always feed this to me with bananas and once in a while my mom says sheese instead of cheese. :)

Well, sheese is better than the Diet Cock my mom likes to drink.
