I'm Mexican So It Isn't Racist...
15 WAYS TO TELL IT'S A MEXICAN BIRTHDAY PARTY...
1. Some of the guests didn't bring a gift, but brought extra-
uninvited
kids.
2. The cake says, "Happy Birthday Mijo" instead of the child's real
name.
3. The party is at Chuck E. Cheese but they brought their own food,
cake, and a pinta.
4. It's a child's party but there are more grown-ups than children.
5. It's Mijo's 1st birthday and the party food is carne asada, arroz,
frijoles, and 10 cases of beer.
6. For entertainment, instead of playing pin the tail on the donkey,
there is usually a televised baseball, football game, or live fight.
7. The party was supposed to be over at 5:00; it's 10:00 and the
party
is just starting.
8. The host calls someone who's on their way and tells them to stop
and
get some tortillas and ice.
9. You hear someone go up to the birthday child and say, "Mira, tan
lindo. I'm going to have to get you something next week when I get
paid."
10. The party is Saturday, and you get a call from the hostess Friday
night saying, "I'm giving Mijo a birthday party tomorrow at 3:00."
11. The guests start arriving, and the hostess sneaks away to start
getting ready.
12. The cake didn't come from the store; it came from the mother of
the
comadre of your friend's sister who makes really good cakes.

food
with, so you can eat your cake.
14. Guests automatically wrap up a plate of food and cake to take
home.
