Mamacita says: I can remember being really little, and I can remember my parents playing with me. (Those are my parents; aren’t they pretty?) They played with me whenever they could, but it wasn’t very often. I can remember Mom sitting on the floor, playing paper dolls with us, and showing us how to dress [...]

Fair warning: there is “language” ahead. . . . Mamacita says: I gave finals to five classes last week. Most of my students last semester were awesome; I adore them. I already miss them. They rocked. All semester, they worked hard, had wonderful discussions, participated, helped each other, LISTENED, made suggestions. . . . the [...]

I’m running this again because that house down the road has put up those depressing blue lights again. Mamacita says: A house down the road from us has deep blue lights festooning its shrubberies, hanging from the eaves, and framing the windows. Their tree is white and covered with blue lights. It’s a beautiful blue [...]

Mamacita says: The Post Office is really busy at this time of the year. People are standing in long lines, waiting to buy stamps and mail packages. Everybody knows how busy the Post Office is at this time of the year. That being said, WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE OLD WOMEN * IN THERE [...]

Mamacita says: I used to be a hippie, you know. Now, I’m just hippy. I’m almost out of detergent, but if I tear open the two little sample packages of Tide that came in the washer when we bought it seven years ago, I think I can finish out the night. It doesn’t do to [...]

Mamacita says: I see no real harm is a cat in the kitchen unless it walks across your plate. Or sheds a lot. Or thinks it’s a human and demands its own place setting and chair, but I can deal with that. As long as it’s sitting in a chair and has its own plate, [...]

Mamacita says: If one person offers to make popcorn for another person, and that other person declines the offer, and the first person says “Are you sure? I’m making popcorn and I’d be glad to make some for you, too,” and the second person insists he doesn’t want any, and the first person gives up [...]

Warning: proceed no further if you’re one of those overly sensitive types who is easily offended. You’re no fun, by the way. == Mamacita says: Grammar. I love grammar. It’s such a fantastic segue to. . . well, pretty much anything. A student once asked me if it was true that a person could go [...]

Mamacita says: Don’t tell anybody, but I’m only pretending to be upset that all the stores are getting ready for Christmas. Yes, it’s too early. Yes, Thanksgiving really does deserve some undivided attention. Etc. The fact is, I love Christmas, and even more than Christmas, I love preparing for Christmas. This entails far more than [...]

Mamacita says: Oh please, society, let us learn from the past, just a little bit? “Francie thought it was the most beautiful church in Brooklyn.
