(  primer encuentro.  flashback.  primavera 2018.  )

            ¿quién llamaba a su perro quesito,  en su sano juicio?  boss no pensaba juzgar aquella decisión,  mucho menos cuando la paga por sacarlo a pasear era una buena cantidad de euros.  tal vez cuando el perro se soltó de la correa fue que entendió,  corriendo detrás de él para poder detenerlo,  porque sin duda,  si llegaba a pasarle algo a quesito,  los dueños lo matarían.  el parque jamás le pareció tan inmenso,  gritando varias veces su nombre sin ninguna respuesta y sintiéndose un poco tonto al tener un par de miradas curiosas.  ‘  maldito queso,  te quedarás sin premios por el resto de la semana  ’  dice entre dientes,  finalmente sintiendo alivio cuando lo ve a escasos metros,  corriendo como loco hasta chocar con una chica de cabellera rubia.  mierda,  había sido un tremendo golpe,  pero al menos había logrado que el enorme canino se detuviera.

(  actualidad.  invierno 2023.  )

            no iba a esperar más tiempo,  prim debió haber sido puntual y boss no era la persona mas paciente de parís.  está a punto de alejarse del colegio,  aquel lugar que no es precisamente de sus favoritos,  sin embargo,  decide esperar,  mandando un mensaje a su hermana menor:  « me voy en 10 minutos,  no esperaré más tiempo »  y con ello guarda teléfono.  cruzado de brazos y viendo cómo varios alumnos comienzan a salir,  no es de su interés observar lo que sucede a su alrededor,  pero cabellera rubia llama su atención.  sintiendo que todo se ha detenido.  ¿era dagny naess? ¿cuándo había vuelto?  porque,  aunque se hubiera marchado sin decir nada,  boss le había buscado,  descubriendo que se había ido del país.  por un momento piensa alejarse de ahí cuánto antes,  prim podía irse sola,  pero es su orgullo el que decide buscar una respuesta a todas las preguntas que tuvo cinco años atrás.  ‘  disculpa,  ¿podrías decirme dónde se encuentra la señorita prim phakdi?  ’  sutil,  su forma de volverse acercarse a ella.     *          @dagnyss​

“¿qué? por favor no vengas a juzgarme, estoy harta de estos zapatos” y eso que eran sus preferidos. pero ahí esta, recostada en una banqueta de la terraza del hotel, mientras sus zapatos están tirados en el suelo junto a una copa vacía. creía que todos estaban muy entretenidos con la subasta como para venir a interrumpir su momento de paz. spoiler: estaba equivocada.

¿Maribel con el visto bueno del PePe Aznar, le pone cara de "Casado" a el Gallego Feijoó?

Una semana después del aniversario de la crisis interna que se llevó por delante al primer líder del PP elegido por primarias, Pablo Casado, su enemiga en aquella guerra, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, ha ejecutado el capítulo final de la venganza. La presidenta de la Comunidad de Madrid ha comunicado a cuatro alcaldes en ejercicio, al menos dos de ellos vinculados al casadismo 

Alberto Núñez Feijóo y Pablo Casado salen de la taberna El Alabardero en Madrid en la que comieron juntos el pasado miércoles.

Familia Oliver. Carnaval en chacra Santa Ana. Pepe Salas con traje de baño de Josefina, copia iluminada por Josefina Oliver, San Vicente, Buenos Aires, Argentina, February 1910 (Detail below)

Hermanos García Oliver, copia iluminada por Josefina Oliver, San Vicente, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1909 | src YO Josefina Oliver

Josefina Oliver (1875-1956) began as a vocational photographer among her friends in 1897. Two years later, she takes the first one of her one hundred self-portraits and photographs her friends and relatives, houses’ interiors and landscapes in the family farm in San Vicente. Josefina, a common porteña, was almost invisible. Author of a luminous ouvre, hidden until 2006, as a consequence of a society that disregarded women’s inner self.

Josefina Oliver reflects this reality in her artistic work so far composed by 20 volumes of a personal diary, more than 2700 photographs, collages and postcards. Plenty of her shots are conceived with scenographies; she always develops them and paints the best copies with bright colors. She makes up twelve albums, four of them are wonderful and only have illuminated photographs. At the same time, a transversal humor appears behind her multiform ouvre.

Journal Entry

October 23, 1993,

Last night was weird. I don’t know how else to put it. I don’t tell people anything about Mexico.

Javier blinked awake, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. His back ached from sleeping on the couch. His eye lids fell heavy, but the smell of coffee and hushed voices pulled him toward consciousness The spring digging into his back kicked him off the couch.

He shuffled toward the kitchen. The voices grew louder as he did.

Alejandra sat at the kitchen table leaned over a coloring book. Mateo sat next to her, nodding to her string of consciousness. He was equally focused on his coloring book. 

“Buenos Dias, Mr. Javi.”

He stopped and shifted his weight. Children weren’t exactly his strong suit. Did this make him responsible for them?  Should he even be allowed around children? He pushed those thoughts away. They only brought up memories he wanted to scrub from his brain. ”Buenos dias, Alejandra.” 

“Mateo say good morning to Mr. Javi.” She said in Spanish. 

In English, Mateo said, “Good morning.” 

Ale lapsed back into English. “He doesn’t like to speak Spanish, but he can understand it.”

Javier caught sight of the half-full coffee pot.

“No Spanish.” Mateo shook his head. 

Javier forced a smile. He moved toward the coffee. “Are you the only two up?”

“Abuelo and Mr. Chucho went to work.” It was still hot. 

Two sets of dishes sat in the dish drainer. They were probably from his dad and Jaime. Was he supposed to feed someone’s children without their permission?

He took a deep breath. There was nothing to be scared of. They were kids. Little humans. All he had to do was ensure they didn’t die from eating. It was quite literally the easiest protection detail of his life. Why didn’t it feel like that way? 

“Have you two eaten?”

“I’m hungry,” Mateo said. 

Well, that answered that question.

“Mr. Chucho said he bought Lucky Charms.” 

And that explained the smiling, green leprechaun that greeted him at 5:30 am yesterday. It had startled him. His dad earned a good laugh from it. “Lucky Charms it is. Mateo?’

“Yes, please.” He didn’t look up from his coloring. 

Emily could hear Alejandra talking before she opened the bedroom door. That didn’t surprise her at all. She did not expect to find Javier leaning back in his seat, an arm slung over the chairback and the other pulling his coffee toward his mouth. Alejandra sat across from him. She chatted a million miles a minute. Javier nodded along eye’s trained on Mateo who shoveled scrambled eggs into his mouth. 

“Mr. Javi, would you like a coloring page?” She didn’t look up. “I really like this coloring book, but I would let you have a page if you wanted one.”

“That’s ok, you keep coloring.”

Javier looked up, taking a sip of his coffee. She forced a smile. Something flashed in his eye. Emily couldn’t decode it. 

“Good morning,” he said. It was flat, like he didn’t know how to interact with her in daylight. 

Tension climbed up her spine. She could make it out in his smile. She could feel it in her own movements.

She took a deep breath and forced her own smile.“Good morning.” 

Emily crouched next to Alejandra’s chair. “Buenos dias, mí amorcita.” Her voice was soft and smooth. Her morning register sat a pitch or two lower than it usually did. She kissed Alejandra’s head.  

Alejandra stopped her coloring. She wore the biggest grin on her face. “Buenos dias, mami.” Her lips smacked against Emily’s cheek. She gave her mother her complete attention for a full two seconds before her head snapped back down to the coloring book. 

Emily repeated the greeting to Mateo. “Good morning, Mommy.” He said, mouth full. He kissed his mother's cheek leaving egg behind. 

Javier couldn’t suppress the small chuckle in his throat. Emily wiped the egg off her cheek with a laugh. She tousled Mateo’s hair. Emily looked at her children like they hung the stars. She looked at peace. It stood in stark contrast to the night and moments before. 

“There’s coffee in the kitchen. I can get you some.” Javier said.

“I can get it, thank you.” Emily moved into the kitchen as Alejandra’s chatter filled the space.

Mateo’s fork clinked onto the table, his mouth still full. “Done! More please.” 

“I think that’s up to your mom, Mateo.” 

Javier looked at Emily. She shrugged. “He’s hungry. Let him eat.” 

“He’s a bottomless pit you know. He’s already had 4.”

“Don’t forget the bowl of cereal!” Alejandra said. 

“And a bowl of cereal.” Javier added, pulling the eggs out of the fridge. 

Emily smiled over the rim of her coffee mug. “He out-eats me. I don’t know where he puts it all.” 

Javier chuckled as he moved to the stove. His shoulder brushed hers. She jumped back. Coffee splashed out of her mug. “Shit.”

“You ok?”

“Yeah… fine.” Emily wiped up her spill with a paper towel. She moved out of the kitchen space, taking a seat at the table. “Thank you for making the eggs.”

“Dad would have my hide if I didn’t make sure our guests were fed.”

“Speaking of dads, I thought mine would be up by now.”

“Pops dragged him out with the sun this morning.” Javier cracked the egg. It sizzled against the hot frying pan. “At least that’s what Alejandrina said.”

Emily looked at her daughter. “Alejandrina?”

“That’s my nickname from Mr. Javi.” She smiled. Alejandra might just have a new favorite person. “Abuelo was complaining, but he smiled so I think he was excited.”

“Sounds about right,” Emily said. 

She could see Javier out of the corner of her eye. He rested a hand on his hip as he watched the eggs cook. She took this opportunity to really look at him. She’d been too caught up with the kids yesterday and it was too dark last night to make out the details. He wore a simple white t-shirt and jeans that were skin-tight. 

Attraction wasn’t something Emily experienced anymore. It was sealed behind years of abuse and guarded by anxiety with no parole insight, but the sight of him in the kitchen made it peer through the cell doors, but attraction wasn’t the right word for what flooded her veins. Admiration felt too strong. Cautious curiosity maybe. Anxiety pushed it back into the corner. 

“What are we staring at?”

“What the-?” Emily’s coffee spilled into her lap. She rolled her eyes grabbing a napkin. Twice in one morning that was a new low. 

“You looked deep in thought.” Anna grinned. She followed Emily’s line of sight. Emily dared to let her eyes wander back up. Javier had moved out of sight.

“You know me, just my casual morning dissociation.” Emily sighed. It was probably going to stain. “There’s coffee in the kitchen.”

Anna nodded. Javier appeared with more scrambled eggs. He hardly set it down before Mateo dug in. His fork narrowly missed Javier’s hand. 

“Woah, watch it with that thing.” Javier smiled. “You’re gonna take someone’s hand off.”

Mateo’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “Sorry, Mr. Javi.”

“You got some ninja speed, kiddo.”

“Ravenous as always, I see.” Anna said. 

“Would you expect anything different?” Emily said.

“Mr. Javi?” Alejandra said. “Can we ride horses today?”

“I think we can make that happen, Alejandrina.”

...

Alejandra jumped from foot to foot, holding Jaime’s hand as she eagerly waited outside of the barn. Miguelito was more preoccupied by the lasso Chucho had taught him how to use as he practiced his technique with an old barrel. Mateo weaved through the adults as if they were traffic cones. 

Chucho led a horse out of the barn. Ale fought to contain a squeal. She wore a smile that threatened to break her face as Chucho brought the animal closer. “Ale, go up on the mounting block.” He instructed. 

Alejandra did as told. She held out her hand. The horse sniffed at it. She cautiously moved her small hand upward, resting it above his muzzle. He was mostly white with gray speckles that increased toward his hind until it looked almost gray. “What’s his name?”

“Hurricane.” Chucho said. He held out an apple, showing Alejandra how to hold it out to the horse before handing it to her. 

“Does he live up to the name?” Jaime asked. Hurricane plucked the apple from Ale’s hand with one bite. She giggled. 

“Used too. He’s mellowed with age. He was the first foal Javier trained.”

“And the last,” Javier said, leading out a mare. He tied her to the hitching post. “He was a pain in my ass.”

“Reminds me a lot of you,” Chucho said. 

Emily put one hand in front of the mare’s nose. She let the horse sniff at her palm before resting her other hand on her neck. The mare’s eye moved, connecting with Emily’s. Her hand stilled on Paz’s rich brown coat. They stayed like that, looking at each other. It felt like the horse saw everything behind her eyes, and for a moment the constant noise in her head stopped. 

The horse swung its head toward her. Emily took the smallest step back. The mare bobbed its head up and down, easing closer to her. Emily touched its forehead, her other hand rubbing its cheek. She rested her head against the mare’s. 

“That’s Paz. She’s the last one my wife trained.”

Emily smiled softly. She ran a hand over the horse's neck and moved along her side. “She’s beautiful.”

“I want to ride Hurricane,” Alejandra said. 

“Patience, mija,” Emily said. “Mateo, do you want to pet the horses?”

“They’re really big.”

Emily smiled and picked him up. She kissed his cheek. “Does this make it better?”

He nodded. His small hands stretched towards Paz in quiet admiration. Javier appeared with sugar cubes in hand. Mateo looked at him and Javier gave a little nod. Mateo plucked a sugar cube from his palm and dropped it in his mouth. 

Emily gasped, “Mateo.” But she couldn’t keep the smile off her face. The boy’s eyes grew wide. He knew what he did, and he knew he was going to get away with it.

“There’re those ninja reflexes again.” Javier chuckled. “You’re going to make Paz jealous, taking her sugar cubes like that.” He fed the horse the remaining sugar cubes.

“You get away with too much, little boy.” Emily kissed his head. 

“Mami, look.” Alejandra sat atop Hurricane as Chucho led them around.

“Looking good, Ale.” Emily smiled. 

“She's a natural,” Chucho said. 

“Abuelo, can we get a horse?” Alejandra asked. 

Jaime laughed. “I don’t think so. Where would we put it?”

“In the backyard.” 

“Our backyard isn’t big enough.”

Alejandra sighed. “Fine.”

“You can come ride horses here anytime, Alejandra,” Chucho said. “You and your family have an open invitation.”

“Thank you, Chucho,” Emily said.

“Can we come every day?”

The adults laughed. “No,” Emily said. “But I’ll make sure we get the chance to come back.”

“Have you ridden before, Emily?” Chucho asked.

“I used to ride in high school.”

“You did?” Jaime said. 

Emily nodded. It was an awkward reminder of the 15 years missing between them. “Yeah.”

“Perfect, you and Javier can go for a tour of the farm on horseback. We’ll watch the kids.” He gave her a knowing smile. 

 Emily did a double take. Did he see them last night? Did he think something was going on with them?

“You good with that, Jav? And can you check that the back fence is holding up while you’re out?”

“Sure thing, pops.” He nodded. “I’ll go saddle up Gracie.”

Jaime shot Emily a look. The one they’d perfected over the years. You good with this?

One short nod, unnoticeable to most. Yeah. 

Emily hooked her foot in the stirrup. It felt good to hoist herself up. She felt powerful and self-assured in the saddle. She was going to have to ride horses more often if it made her feel like this. 

“You’re a natural up there,” Chucho said. 

Javier led Gracie out of the stable. She was dark as the midnight sky from nose to tail. He pulled himself into the saddle next to Emily.

“We’ll be back by lunch,” Javier said.

 Chucho nodded. “Have fun.”

Emily looked at her children. “Listen to your grandparents.”

“We will. Have fun, Mami.” Alejandra waved. 

Javier steered his horse out of the corral. Emily followed behind. The pair stayed quiet. Javier pointed out random buildings and fields here and there. She responded with polite single words and noises. 

They kept on until they reached the backfield. Javier slid off his horse as he walked up to inspect the fence. Emily stayed in the saddle looking at the river that created the southern border of the property. She could see people on the other shore loading a small Jon boat. 

“That’s the Rio Grand?”

Javier didn’t look up from his inspection. “Yeah.”

She bit her lip. “So that’s Mexico.”

Javier stopped. He walked back over to the horses. “Have you been back since?”

“No.” She shook her head. “I forget how close we are.” 

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think-”

“Don’t apologize. I’m okay.” 

Javier nodded, hands on his hip. “Everything’s good here. I thought we could go through the woods next.”

“You’re the guide.”

Javier mounted his horse. “That I am.”

Their horses walked beside each other. Javier held the reigns in one hand allowing his free hand to sit on his thigh. The sun warmed their backs.

 “Do the boats bother you?” Emily asked. 

“Boats?”

“The drug runners. You can see them from the backfield.”

Javier stayed quiet. “Do they bother you?”

“No.” Emily tilted her head to the side. “You still have to answer.” 

Javier guided them to the trailhead at the edge of the woods. 

“Yes,” Javier said once they were surrounded by trees. 

“Do you still work for the DEA? Dad’s mentioned trying to convince you to work for him at the Laredo office.”

“I’m on administrative leave.”

“What did you do?”

Javier said. “I exchanged information with Los Pepes in an attempt to catch Escobar.”

“Holy shit.”

“Not my finest moment.”

“We all have those.” 

“Yeah.”

A few birds chirped around them. Emily caught sight of squirrels and chipmunks scurrying around as they prepared for the winter. The horses huffed and bristled throughout their slow venture.

They came up on a small brook. The water trickled quickly over small stones. Javier slid off his horse. Emily followed suit. “We’ll let the horses drink here. It’s hot out today.”

She led Paz over to the brook. The horses eagerly lapped at the water. Javier pulled a canteen out of the saddle bag. He took a long sip.

“Do you know who El Señior de Los Cielos is?”

“Carillo Fuentes?” He wiped his chin. “He runs the Juarez cartel.”

“Yeah…” Emily ran her hand over Paz’s shoulder. “He’s my kids’ godfather.”

Javier coughed. Emily’s raised her eyebrows. 

“That can’t really be the most shocking thing I’ve told you.”

“No, I guess not.” He handed Emily the canteen. “Just caught me off guard I guess.”

“You’re slipping, Agent Peña.” She teased, taking a sip of the water. 

“I suppose I am.” Javier wanted to smile but it died on his lips. 

Emily continued to run her hands over the horse. Paz seemed to suck the anxiety right out of her. She could feel it draining from her system, soothing her beating heart. The breeze tangled in her hair. The perfect combination. Maybe she should join forces with Ale and convince her dad to buy a horse.

“I held my gun at a kid once. He was probably Miguelito’s age.” 

Emily snapped to him. He stared down at the ground, hands on his hip. Did he always stand like that? He glanced up at her. There was no judgment in her eyes. 

“Escobar, he armed people in the comunas, including children.” He scuffed his boot into the dry dirt. “I still have that dream once a week. Sometimes I pull the trigger. Other times he does.”

“What actually happened?”

“He ran away.”

“My therapist.” Javi looked up again, eyebrows raised. “Crazy, I know. Someone admitting they’re seeing a shrink.” She smiled. Javier’s chest shook with silent laughter. “Anyway, my therapists and I’ve had many, always tell me it’s not what you could’ve done, it’s what you did.”

She turned around, hand sliding over Paz’s neck and shoulder. The horse watched her. She felt calm, even as the confession floated close to her lips. 

Javier walked over, taking his place on the other side of the horse. He looked at her over the horse’s neck. She bit her lip, toying with Paz’s mane. “When I was in Mexico, I thought about killing myself more often than I like to admit.” Her breath was shaky. She managed to make eye contact with Javier. Emily would never know how. “And sometimes, I thought about taking my kids with me.”

Her eyes watered, but nothing spilled out. “Fuck… I don’t know why I’m telling you this. I don’t tell anyone this shit.”

Javier gave Paz a firm pat. He looked around. The autumn sun peeked through the changing leaves. “Nature is the best kind of listener. It doesn’t judge. It never tells your story for you.” 

He walked back to his horse, untying him. Emily watched him. She’d expected more from him, yet he gave her exactly what she needed. She hooked a foot in the stirrups, straddling the saddle. Paz shifted under her weight. They followed Javier, crossing the brook. The pair stayed quiet. The only sounds were the crunching underbrush and the trickle of water. 

“Does it help?” Javier looked back at her. “To tell yourself it’s what you did?”

She shrugged. “About 50% of the time. The rest of the time I just feel like a shitty mom.” A humorous grin played off her lips. It caught Javier off guard. He hadn’t expected the dark humor from her. “But the therapists seem pretty proud of themselves every time they say it.”

Javier let his chuckle loose this time. “Trust me, you’re anything but shitty.”

Emily inhaled deeply. “Thank you.”

...

Emily sat on the patio, one of her father’s cigarettes in hand. The moon was a little fuller tonight, just over half a moon. The full moon would come next week. She loved the glow of a full moon, but the sky of a new one and the sky full of twinkling stars it brought with it. 

She flicked the ash off her cigarette before pulling it to her lips. Her mind drifted back to what she’d said to Javier in the woods. She’d never told her dad about her suicidal ideations, yet here she was telling Jaivier less than 24 hours after meeting him. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he understood on a level a lot of people didn’t, and that included her father. 

Jaime had been in Mexico and hunted after the people she knew, but he hadn’t seen the same kind of violence. She knew the ease at which Felix ordered the execution of people near to him. She knew Colombia had been different. She’d overheard enough of her dad’s work calls, seen enough news footage, and recognized the look in Javier’s eyes. Fuck, she’d been sheltered from most of the gore and violence, only hearing about it. Javier had witnessed it. 

The sliding door squeaked and Javier’s head poked out, followed by the rest of him. He set a bottle and two glasses on the table. He pulled out his own pack of cigarettes. They said nothing. She sat. His signature silhouette was illuminated by the moon. 

Their cigarettes dwindled. She squashed hers in the ashtray. Glass clinked as Emily poured the whiskey. “Brought out the big guns tonight.” Her finger traced over the whiskey label. She could just make it out under the moonlight. 

“Why did you open up in the woods today?” Javier glanced over his shoulder. 

The glass stopped at her lips.“Why did you tell me about the kid in Colombia?”

He looked down. “I only ever told Steve, my partner in Colombia, about it. He was the only one who understood.”

Emily walked over. She stood at his side, offering him a filled glass. He took it. He swirled the whiskey. 

“I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit. I’ve participated in some of it. That story… It’s not even the worst of it.” He took one last pull from his cigarette.

“Neither was mine… That was just the tip of the fucking iceberg, Javier.”

“I don’t think I’m a very good person.” 

“It sounds like you’ve done some fucked up stuff, but I don’t think you’re a bad person. Hell, the fact that I’ll sit out here alone with you is a miracle.”

He saw his out. He took it.“I was surprised you stayed out last night. You looked like you wanted to bolt.”

“I did, but I wanted to be outside more. To be honest, that little voice is in the back of my head right now, but it’s not because of anything you’ve done.” She wrapped her arms around herself. “Trisha is gonna be proud when I tell her.” Emily finished off the whiskey in her glass.

“Trisha?”

“My therapist.” 

“So you’re hanging out with me just to impress your therapist?” He pulled out a smile. This was much safer territory. 

Emily laughed. Warmth spread through Javier’s chest. He hadn’t touched the whiskey 

“It’s not for the depressing conversation, that’s for sure.” She laughed again and he could feel it in his limbs. He shook his head, fighting back a smile as the glass met his lips.

“Smart ass.”

“I did pass with one of the highest GED scores.”

“What? Did they let you take it open book from home?”

Emily smacked his shoulder. “I had a proctor, thank you very much.”

They laughed. His shoulder brushed hers. Her muscles tensed, but she didn’t jump. Slow and controlled, she stepped back. 

He nodded. “If you need me to leave, it’s okay.”

“No.” It came out so fast. She sat on the chair closest to the house. “Just stay on that side of the patio.”

Javier nodded. He pulled the other chair to the opposite edge of the patio. Its metal legs grated against the cement. 

Emily cringed. “God, I hate that sound.” 

Javier gave the chair an extra push and shove with a smart-ass smile on his lips. Heightened anxiety still coursed through her veins, but she laughed.

Últimamente he estado reflexionando mucho acerca de las cosas cotidianas de la vida que a simple vista pasamos desapercibidas y no nos tomamos el tiempo de disfrutarlas.

Hace un par de ayeres recordé cosas de la niñez tanto ajenas como propias y esto fue lo que salió, espero sea de su agrado:

"LA CHANCLA ERA DE CUERO"

Todo el proceso de crecimiento de un ser humano pasa por esto: nace, crece, se reproduce y muere. Así de fácil así de sencillo; aunque algunos se quieren quedar atorados en la reproducción. Peroooooo, hay momentos cruciales en todo ese desarrollo que nos lleva a temprana edad a tener traumas psicológicos. Ejemplo de ello, la niñez. ¿Cuantos de ustedes tienen cicatrices de cuando eran niños? A todos prácticamente les pasan cosas cuando se es chamaco chamaca o chaneke. En fin todos  en algún momento pasan por ello y más aún cuando nos quedan cicatrices del alma, como cuando tú mamá te agarra a chancletazos un fin de semana por comerte los sunchos de la mesa que eran para el rezo de la tía lencha. A ver diganme quien en su sano juicio se acabaría una bolsa con 35 sunchos de fantasma con ojos azucarados un sábado a las 11 de la mañana. Al menos yo...si. Y que pasa después de haber estado en el Olimpo con tus sunchos azucarados? Caes al mismísimo abismo dónde el verdugo ajusticia tu pecado. 

-Mamá solo quise comer tantitos!!.

-Ningún tantito mendigo chamaco, ven aca!! 

Y Zaz,  que me da en las petacas mi jefesita con la punta de su chancla.

¿Saben? Siempre me he preguntado si las jefas tienen algún curso sobre como conseguir la chancla perfecta para cada uno de los miembros de su familia. Solo piensenlo, son perfectas!!. Todas son justicieras se podría decir casi divinas por qué dan siempre dónde más duele.

Hay 3 tipos de chanclas que he podido conocer a los largo de mis años, no diré cuántos por qué son pocos y luego no me creen. 

Entre los tipos más comunes son:

*Las chanclas de dedo:

Estás se caracterizan por apretar el dedo gordo de tu pie separando a los más chiquitos, peculiar mente usado por las mamás autoritarias de la familia, las hembras alfas 

*Las chanclas de pala:Estás se diferencian de las chanclas de dedo, por qué ya no separa el dedo gordo del pie de los chiquitos, al contrario une a toda la banda de dedos y los deja bien ajustados como cacahuates así nomás

*Las chanclas de montaña: son esas chanclas que cubren todo como calzon de abuelita, ajustan el pie con la suela de la chancla y hacen que no se salga ya que tienen un cierre especial. Las favoritas de muchas jefas.

Luego luego, en base a mi teoría, además de lo fashion que se ven las jefas con sus chanclas, ¿Alguien ha visto como su castigo va de acuerdo a su personalidad? No pierden su estilo cuando enjuician al culpable. El lanzamiento chancleberang , el toque de punta , el dardo de cuero... Un sin fin de movimientos que cada jefa adopta según su personalidad.

Hay un ser extraño también muy adentrado a la familia. Lo han de conocer es el famoso tío Pepe. El tío Pepe se distingue por qué jamás pierde un zapato en su vida, o se lo roban o se desgastan pero nunca nunca pierde uno y de perderlo ajusticia a quien se lo agarra. Claro que sí, todos tenemos un tío Pepe en nuestras familias a no ser que tú seas el tío Pepe de la tuya. 

Mira, se cayó tu zapato.

Particularmente mi mamá usa un modelo de chancla no muy común en nuestros días, es legendaria. Cuando me portaba mal usaba el chancleberang pero Jah! eso no es todo. Dentro de su chancla tenía preparado como cartucho de escopeta unas cuantas municiones. Sacaba las balas lanzaba la chancla y si no me daba recurría a tirar las famosas piedras del sagrado duramil. Cómo dolían, bueno eso dice mi vecino ya que por ser chaparrito mi mamá le daba al terreno de alado y pensando me daba, apedreaba al vecino.

Es normal que castiguen a quien se porte mal y lo admito soy  terco por eso mi mamá me castigaba y miren salí repotenciado.

Supe cuando crecí que la marca en mi nalga tenía un distintivo propiciado por un material algo peculiar y no es por presumir pero crecieron a base de cuero.
