1. Everyone in your family has some sort of strange nickname. Sometimes, even multiple ones. It can get very confusing.

Toto, Chiquis, Jano, it goes on and on...

2. You watched El Chavo Del Ocho

3. When you were younger and got hurt, your parents would say “Sana, sana, colita de rana.”

And somehow, it really did make you think you felt better.

4. Every meal has to have some salsa to accompany it.

Your mom’s homemade salsa was the bomb.

5. You must greet everyone with a kiss on the cheek.

It is considered very rude if you just say, "Hi."

6. Saturday mornings are usually spent cleaning the house.

“Esta casa no se va limpiar sola!”

7. You celebrated Los Reyes Magos on January 6th.

Pretty much meant you got double presents during the holiday season.

8. And tried to find baby Jesus in la rosca.

The person who finds the baby Jesus, has to host a party on February 2 and have tamales as the meal.

9. Rice and Beans are essentially in every single meal.

10. Family gatherings mean that your driveway will look like this.

Because your 9 aunts and uncles and 30 cousins will be there, too.

11. You had a piñata at every birthday party when you were a child.

Somehow, you managed to make it out alive every time.

12. Your parents were incredibly strict.

God forbid, you do something stupid because if they get mad, you will be grounded for a very long time.

13. Watching telenovelas was a great pastime.

14. You wondered why Cinco de Mayo was such a big deal in America.

No, it is not Mexico’s independence day. It is not even close to being a major holiday in Mexico.

15. You got your face slammed in your birthday cake as soon as you blew the candles.

“Mordida! Mordida!”

16. You had your friends call your spicy-sweet candy “gross”.

It is the most delicious candy in the world.

17. You choose pan dulce over almost any other pastry.

Conchas will always be way better than donuts.

18. But most of all, you're thankful that you grew up in such a rich, beautiful and vibrant culture.
