Perfecta

you have done it again.

the rooms are gorgeous. the floors waxed and glowing. windows, they still need some work.

the meal was wonderful, what would we do without you, Perfecta.

the child needs to be changed, he needs your touch. I'm not feeling too well, myself. Perfecta, dinner needs to be ready now. the garden is radiant, you have that green thumb.

how is your family, we need eggs and milk, and the little one is crying again

of course the day is yours, after all it's Sunday.

mama, how was work?

the house needs to be cleaned m'ijo, the floors must be mopped and scrubbed. the windows washed and lunch needs to be fixed.

mama, i learned to spell my name and i can count to one hundred.

set the table m'ijo and wash your hands.

and i colored a dinosaur and...

i have to go back now

what would we do without you, Perfecta. the table looked grand and the roast was superb. you even had the crystal and silver sparkling.

eat your rice and beans, and don't play with your food m'ijito.

mama, why do they always call you Perfecta. but grandma calls you Maria?
