A couple of months ago, we went to visit my brother Felipe, sister-in-law Liz and adorable nephew Mario. Mario took the camera from me and actually took some very good pictures, which I will post below (first 4 pics were taken by him). Peter and I enjoyed a weekend of having adult fun at night with Felipe and Liz and waking up very early to a little man wanting to watch "toons" and the movie Cars about a million times. Another clever thing I experienced, that only a mom could come up with, was when Mario decided he wanted ice cream cake for breakfast. Instead of starting a never ending battle or having Mario get cranky, she cleverly said "Mario let's go have cereal cake for breakfast". She served him his usual bowl of cereal and as she was pouring on the milk said..."Yum I am putting on the milk frosting". Mario without a tear or a complaint, happily sat and ate his entire bowl of cereal cake. The main event was when he would say something was "fashi". Unknown to me what fashi meant, and unable to figure out any connection related to when or what he said this to, I decided to have the following conversation with Mario:
Monica: Mario, is tia Miss America fashi? (PS: for those who do not know Felipe used to call me Miss America when we were kids and now Mario calls me that as well)
Mario: Yes you are tia
I was very excited since I assumed that fashi meant "one who is fashionable and uniquely cool"
The next day, after a fun night out, I again asked Mario if I was fashi. This time he said "no" without even hesitating. When I asked him why I wasn't, he said in the most adorable sweetest voice "I dunno" (I don't know). To this date, I am still not quite sure what fashi means, but I most say this, FASHI and FUNNER should be official accepted as authentic words in the English language. So from now on if I think you are just uniquely cool you will hear me say "You are just so fashi".
Moral of the story: Fashi is the way to be....I hope ;)
thanks Mario
