Perdona me Mami

P

“PERDONA ME MAMI.
I was just playing soccer with the boys in the yard.”

I didn’t know it then, but we were poor. My mom would be furious when I came back from
playing with the boys with grass stains & knee tears in my pants.
That’s all I had to play in and, well, I had to play.
