Conchita

My spanish madre, Conchita, is something else. One of my favorite phrases that she says is "WAH!" She will say it for almost anything she dislikes, for example:
-I say I might get a phone with a company called "Orange"...WAH
-the news said they are closing a mine and people are losing jobs...WAH
-Amy Winehouse came on the screen...WAH
-people died in a car crash over the weekend...WAH
-I say I have a lot of homework...WAH
Almost everytime she says it my roommate and I start chuckling. She also likes to ask us where we are going and then will tell us if we need to hold our bolsas (purses) close.  Every night during dinner the tv is either playing some reality dating show that is ridiculous or the news. I think she has a secret obsession for the dating shows or maybe she just enjoys mocking the people's outfits. Last night we found out that her ringtone for her cell phone is Yellow Submarine. She does not know english. I love it.
