" AY MAMI YA APÁGALO " I yelled in agony

"Por favor Ma, ya no puedo " Miguel complained

" FINE FINE , I'll turn it off " she responded while turning off her 'jam'

" I can never have anything nice " Mom huffed in annoyance

We've been on the road for almost an hour and it's been hell . Mami had been playing 'In Break My Heart ' for a good ten minutes on repeat. If it's not that then it's Jose's annoying rap music or corridos being played. I forgot my headphones back home so I'm stuck listening to both. Plus Miguel doesn't wanna share earbuds.

" OOOOOOO"

" Oh shit that girl threw up" laughed Jose

" No mames! Really lemme see " I gasped while shoving Miguel's head to get a good look of the other side of the road.

Jose was right , some guerra was throwing up in the middle of the freeway.

" That's so funny I have to take a picture " Miguel took out his phone and took a picture of the girl throwing up.

I went back to my original seat and put my seatbelt back on.

" Hey send me that" I asked Miguel

" Me too" Jose asked as-well.

" Ai por favor, you guys are bully's. Instead of offering help, you three laugh." Scolded our Mom .

" We'll what do you want us to do? Open our door, stand in the middle of the freeway and pat the poor girls back?" Miguel questioned

" No me contestes Miguel!" Mom barked

" You ask-

" QUE TE DIJE , I WILL turn this car around if you keep up the attitude" Mom yelled at him.

He huffed and looked out the window

I giggled at the little argument that just happened.

——

" Are we almost there mami?" I complained

" Yea we should be there in about 30 minutes" she responded tiredly. Her body hunched over the steering wheel.

" It's been a while since we've been on a trip, the last time we did something like this was when I was five " Jose reminisced

" Really? Where did you guys go?" I asked curiosity growing within me

" Mami's guy friend was gonna propose to his girl at Disneyland but she cheated on him so he gave us the two tickets. Me and mami ended up going."

Miguel huffed in annoyance " Makes sense, mami would rather die than pay."

" Why would I pay hundreds of dollars for you guys to ride a ride. Tu Tío Guerro tiene un burro y dos caballos you guys can ride that " Mami stated

We laughed at her comment

"POR FIN , the traffic is clearing up "

My mom stepped on the gas and we continued our journey .
——

" Ok before we enter , keep in mind that Maria and Miguel are twins and are under 12 , Jose you don't exist and I'm a traveling agent , we good?" Mami looked through the rear mirror for a response

We all nodded

" Alright let's get out , Jose get the heavy stuff , Miguel get the other bags , Maria come with me."

We exited the car and Mami opened the trunk .

" Why does Maria get to go with you , she never helps getting the bags."Miguel complained as he grabbed bags.
