Sean stopped by on his way home from work because I had ordered him a rain jacket. He came by to pick it up and my Mom heated up tamales that we had in the freezer from my last appointment downtown. My Mom reheated the tamales and she cut mine into bite-size pieces and put it in a bowl because that’s how I eat now.
She brought the bowl over to me and she brought one tamale with the husk off for Sean.
As soon as the tamale smell hit my nose, I said with fondness, “Tamales always remind me of my Abuela!”
I wasn’t expecting to hear what Sean said at all, but I guess that it’s true! He said, “Me too!” And we both started to laugh! My Mom laughed when I told her as well!
