"Chanclas" by Eder Lopez

Once upon a time..... I had come home from my soccer game, winning 5-0 my mother worriedly sees me tired, exhausted and asks me "Que quieres comer hijo, para que te lo traiga" or in other words "what do you want to eat, my son so I could get it for you"

I tell her not to worried that I will get it my own, but she insisted and finally I gave up and said "alright, I want..... Taco Bell". She promised me, she was going to get my food like I ordered it, while me in the other hand took a long shower. As I came out from the bathroom, I hear a door open from the living room and see my mom holding a Taco Bell bag. I ran to the table and open the bag tried to find my Steak Grilled Stuffed Burrito, but couldn't, that only meant one thing , she forgot! I tried to double check all the bags again but again nothing and in my mind I yelled out, no!!!!!!! I wanted to cry but I knew it was not worth ed , even though some where around my heart disagreed. Eventually I didn't tell my mom about my missing burrito because i didn't want to see her sad nor disappointed. I started eating what I ordered but had a sad face thinking of that lucky person enjoying the juicy steak and beany, Grilled Stuff Burrito. I was kind of embarrassed by how I looked in front of my mom, it was weird and i think awkward for her, so she told me, "Que pasa esta todo bien" "What happen, is everything alright"

I replied with a fake smile "Ohh....nothing!"

When I had finished eating everything, my mom offered me a Steak Quesadilla, she said she was already full and so i took it. When I bit it, it tasted good, it felt as i was in heaven, but also not that good as my Grilled Stuff Burrito, but good enough to eat. I couldn't believe that something that I thought I wasn't going to enjoy I enjoyed it. I was happy because this was new to me, it tasted soft, cheesy, and delicious. Since that day every Saturday or Sunday I would go by myself or with my mom and order a Steak Grilled Stuff Burrito and a Steak Quesadilla and I would enjoy every bite I took.
