A Piece of My Heart/Pedacito De Mi Corazon Quotes

“When I was in junior high school I complained to my mother:

Mami, ya no quiero llevar tacos de tortilla de marina con arroz, frijoles y carne para lonche porque we rein Las gringas.

(Mami, I don't want to take tacos of flour tortillas with rice, beans and meat for lunch because the white girls make fun of me

Tacos were nutritious and made with love, care, and hope had to be replaced with sandwiches of baloney and white bread.”
