10 Things You Know By Heart If You Grew Up With A Hispanic Dad

There's more to your dad then just the dad jokes.

My dad was born in Quito, Ecuador and eventually moved to the United States with his parents. Though he has lived in the United States for awhile now, he still has his Spanish ways that make up who he is, especially as a dad. You think it's the dad jokes that make a dad stand out? Think about having a Hispanic dad who has his dad jokes plus his Spanish background that allows him to add his own twist to being a dad.

1. They might jump to conclusion before you get the second word of your sentence out.

You were about to tell your dad about that test you might not have done so great on is getting dropped, but all he heard was you failed the test.

2. They might break out into dance randomly and then tell you this is where you got your rhythm from.

Giphy

A dance party might be started in your kitchen when a good song comes on and your dad will break out his Spanish dance moves, then tell you the reason you're such a good dancer is because of him.

3. Don't be surprised if you find him looking in a mirror telling himself how handsome he is.

Giphy

Yeah so when your dad says wow you look amazing, there's a high chance he is telling himself that he looks amazing while you stand there.

4. They will back you up on anything you tell them, if you don't like that person they don't like that person.

Giphy

If you tell them a story on why you don't like a certain person they most likely won't tell you to just let it go, they'll probably agree with you.

5.They'll talk to everyone and tell those strangers all about your life.

Giphy

Even if you're just on the elevator for a short amount of time that one person who is on it will know where you go to school, your major and what you want to do after you graduate.

6.You will know certain words in Spanish, probably like hurry up and a couple of curse words .

Giphy

At some point in your life, you'll hear words you've heard your dad say and think to yourself hey I know what that means! Then when it comes to the curse words as you get older you eventually figure out what your dad was saying all those times he would get mad.

7. They can be sensitive about anything.

Giphy

When I say anything I mean anything, even the smallest of things. You could tell your dad you decided to write a paper about him or make him a heartfelt card, either way, he will still break down in tears.

8. They like to give you motivational text messages or speeches.

Giphy

Some days it might feel like you have no motivation at all, but your dad will always be there to give you those texts or speeches that make you feel like you can take on the world!

9. They will go above and beyond to make sure your life is perfect.

Tumblr

Your dad is going to do everything in his life to make sure you get everything in your life.

10. Their craziness makes them who they are.

Giphy

They might be a little crazy, but you know they love you and you love their craziness because it makes them who they are.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
