What a great holiday! I love it cause I get to eat Mexican food. So food is really what the holiday means to me because I really have no idea the history or what people are really celebrating.
So along with this quick message about the holiday I have a funny story.
I was sitting at my computer at work getting excited about Cinco de Mayo and wondering how I was going to fit in Mexican food on my busy day. Then a light bulb appeared over my head as I figured out what Cinco de Mayo meant. May 5th. It was such a let down. For years I loved how Cinco de Mayo sounded very Spanish and cool. I loved to celebrated the holiday every year. I loved a reason to eat Mexican Food. Then to discover the name of the holiday is just the date in Spanish I had to just laugh at myself. Then I told Kendra and she laughed at me as well. Come to think of it everyone I told got a good laugh.
Lesson: learn Spanish because this is not the first time I don't know what people are saying when the speak in Spanish. I even think some of what people are saying I should know.
