Cinco de Mayo

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.
