For today I decided to go to the mall and get a dress shirt. Anyone who knows me knows I hate wearing formal clothes. My mom bought me a sombrero a few years ago and some boots because she wants me to dress like that. She says that everyone in Mexico dresses like that for parties. And so I decided to go and buy me a dress shirt for the purpose of this assignment and for an interview I had. My parents had a 15 to go to today and I thought it would be perfect if I tried to make my mom see me from the back and attempt to trick her. I put on my clothes and my sombrero and went outside where my mom warming up the car. Then she peeks out the window and calls out my dads name and when I turned around she start to laugh because she did not recognize me at all. My neighbor saw me as well and he doesn’t really talk to me but I made him think that I was my dad. He said “Que paso paisa a donde va?” which he never says to me but when he saw my face he too began to laugh. I think I was successful in this because I tricked my neighbor and my mom that I was my dad. I did notice how different I was talked to because of how my neighbor talked to me. Overall although I was successful, I felt uncomfortable wearing the clothes because that isn’t that much of my style, but other than that it was fun i guess. I think I would’ve worn the black sombrero I have. I like black so this was pretty weird for me.
