"C'mon," I said. "Everyone else is outside," and I shuffled my friends to the backyard. I slid the glass door open; salsa music and laughter filled the air. Some of my uncles were slapping domino pieces onto the picnic table, conversing animatedly
in Spanish. My father was busy tending to the pork in the smoker, discussing the finer points of Puerto Rican seasoning with
his sister, my aunt. Toddlers were crawling around and playing with toys; my sisters, brother, and older cousins were playing
softball.
"Come here, mijo," my father said, signaling me to approach. I was glad my friends did not understand that mijo meant
"buddy" in Spanish. I liked it when my dad called me mijo, but not in front of my friends! I sheepishly introduced Jerome and
Dylan and was relieved when Father took over with the family introductions. At first, my friends seemed reluctant and
uncomfortable, but after the fourth handshake, they were talking with my aunts and uncles like old friends. Then Father asked
Jerome to help him add more wood to the smoker, and my uncles made room for Dylan to sit down and join them in a game of
dominoes. "I think we are just going to hang out in my room," I said, hoping to rescue my friends from this nightmare.
