Jayden informed me that in Spanish "Mamasita" means hot mama. I have used the term Mamasita many times at home when referring to myself as mama in Spanish thinking it just means mama. I am writing this to look back someday and laugh, not to be overly confident or self conceited. One Sunday Jake and I were in a store where one of his DMACC friends worked. They waved at each other from a distance. Jake told me the next day in class the boy asked him who the "smoke show" was that he was with. I learned that smoke show is the modern way of saying someone is hot or very attractive. Jake told me his DMACC friends tell him he has a hot sister and mom. Boys being how they are and cruel to one another for fun, ask him if he was adopted. A couple weeks ago Luke and I were in a store when the clerk looked at us and said, “wow you two look so alike. I can tell your mom and son.” Luke was embarrassed and she went on. “ you have the same features.” She could tell he was getting more embarrassed and said,”it’s not a bad thing, your mom is beautiful. He smiled big at that. He really didn’t know what to think. I can count over 100 times that Jayden and I have been told we look so much alike, but this was a first with Luke. Now that Luke is playing football, his teammates see me drop him off for practice and at games. He came home to tell me that his football friends all tell him he has a hot mom. Oh my. I don’t know what to think of that! Yes it is a compliment, but I am over 3 times their age. I thought 13 year old boys were only checking out girls age 13 to 16, not moms!! Luke said it’s a thing. I watched the homecoming parade with all Luke’s teammates and sure enough, they were saying it to him again. I went to the pep rally and sat on the bleachers top row. Pretty soon coincidentally the whole junior high football team sat in front of me without knowing it. Luke told me the boy next to him says “Bro, your mom is so hot.” Luke turns to him and said” She’s right behind you.” He laughed so hard and the kid was so embarrassed. This is quite strange for me and I am sure Luke is pretty embarrassed too. Funny thing is, I am wearing blue jeans a t shirt, earrings and no make up these days. That’s the best part I don't even fix myself up much like many women do.
