1. Whenever you heard this man’s voice around your house, someone was probably drunk and/or crying.
It was most likely your dad.
2. You’ve been disciplined with at least one of these.
Your mom turned into fucking Hawkeye with the shoe in her hand.
3. You’ve gotten this text at least twice a day.
And you almost shit your pants.
4. Homemade tortillas still make your mouth water.
You don’t even use forks anymore.

It’s always the ref’s fault.
6. There’s still a family rivalry over these two teams.

7. You know at least one person with the Virgin de Guadalupe on their car.
Or tattooed on their arms or back.
9. Your mother would always threatened you with “El Cucuy.”

18. During Ethnicity Day at school, your costume was always the best.
19. When your family is yelling in Spanish and all your friends are just like:

20. Every time you go to Mexico, you get to know at least one more aunt, uncle, or cousin.
