Passage from "The First Real San Giving Day"
With new resolve and colored dittos in hand. I approached
Abuela that night as she sat at the kitchen table..."Abuela.
do you know what Thanksgiving is really all about-what
it really means?" "Qué?" she said without looking up
from her notebook. "Thanksgiving." I repeated. She looked
up at me blankly, and I realized she couldn't understand
Thanksgiving" in my properly pronounced English. So I
blurted it out the way most Cubans pronounced it, as if it
were the name of a saint: "San Giving, Abuela, San Giving."
"Oh, el dia de San Giving. Yes, what?" she asked, and I
began explaining: "It was because the Pilgrims and Indians
became friends"..."What are pilgreems? And those black
sombreros?" she asked, looking over my dittos. "We didn't
wear those en Cuba."
