he meant siete hijos, seven children, but he translated it as “sons”. “i have seven sons.” to anyone who would listen. the sears roebuck employee who sold us the washing machine. the short-order cook where my father ate his ham-and-eggs breakfasts. “i have seven sons.” as if he deserved a medal from the state.
