I grab the collar of Carlos's shirt but on Louis's leg and land on the floor with them. Before I can regain my balance, icy cold water is pored on my back. Turning quickly, I catch mi'ama dousing us all, a bucket poised in her fist abouve us while she is wearing her work uniform. She works as a checker for the local grocery store a couple blocks from our house. It doesn't pay a whole heck of a lot, but we don't need much. \"Get up\" she orders, her fiery attitude out in full force. \"Shit, Ma\" Carlos says, standing Mi'ama takes what's left in her bucket, sticks her fingers in the icy water, and flicks the liquid in Carlos's face. Luis laughs and before he knows it, he gets flicked with water as well. Will they ever learn? \"Any More attitude, Lous?\" She asks. \"No, ma'am\" Louis says, standing as straight as a soilder. \"You have any more filthy words to come out of that boca of yours, Carlos?\" She dips her hand in the water as a warning. \"No, ma'am\" echos soldier number two. \"And what abot you, Alejandro?\" her eyes narrow into slits as she focuses on me \"What? I was try'in to break it up\" I say innocently, giving her my you-can't-resist-me smile. She flicks water in my face. \"That's for not breaking it up sooner. Now get dressed, all of you, and come eat breakfast before school.\" So much for my you-can't-resist-me smile”",
