A few days ago Ken and I were standing around the island in the kitchen snacking on tortilla chips and salsa. In wanders Tolido. He can be a mile away and yet he KNOWS when someone is in the kitchen.
Tolido: Mama?
Me: What do you want, Tolido?
Tolido places his index finger on his chin. (translation: Feed me!)
Me: It's hot, Tolido.
Tolido again places his index finger on his chin.
Me: Okay, T.
I dip a chip in the salsa and give it to him. He eats it and again places his finger on his chin. I give him another. (He likes salsa too.)
Tolido: (eyes starting to water) Wa!!! (translation: Water! Now!)
I give him a big glass of cold water. He sucks it down.
Again, finger on chin.
Me: Do you want salsa with your chip?
Tolido: No!
Today we met Daddy at a Mexican restaurant for lunch. The waitress placed chips on the table. Tolido's eyes lit up. Then she set down a bowl of salsa. Tolido instantly said, "Hot!" How cute. We laughed. "Yes, Tolido, it's hot." :)
