00:00:00.650 --> 00:00:06.810 align:middle line:84%
And I will just read this one to
lighten the mood a little bit.

00:00:06.810 --> 00:00:11.960 align:middle line:84%
It's a new one, and
all you have to know

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:18.510 align:middle line:84%
is that Los Temerarios were like
a popular Mexican band in 1999.

00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:23.428 align:middle line:84%
And that in El Salvador
I didn't grow up even

00:00:23.428 --> 00:00:24.720 align:middle line:90%
knowing what peanut butter was.

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:28.750 align:middle line:90%


00:00:28.750 --> 00:00:29.860 align:middle line:90%
"Peanut Butter, USA".

00:00:29.860 --> 00:00:32.689 align:middle line:90%


00:00:32.689 --> 00:00:38.330 align:middle line:84%
I'm forced to eat an
impossibility, brown substance

00:00:38.330 --> 00:00:44.440 align:middle line:84%
from another planet, a
distant galaxy recipe.

00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:47.680 align:middle line:84%
It's Mom's mission
to Americanize me

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:51.430 align:middle line:84%
with NSYNC albums
she buys for herself,

00:00:51.430 --> 00:00:53.890 align:middle line:90%
but I know what she's up to.

00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:57.490 align:middle line:84%
I had never heard of
them or Britney Spears.

00:00:57.490 --> 00:01:01.060 align:middle line:84%
Through Mexico, at every
cantina, every motel,

00:01:01.060 --> 00:01:03.760 align:middle line:90%
it was Los Temerarios.

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.460 align:middle line:84%
It's Mom's mission
to Americanize me.

00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:11.080 align:middle line:84%
The kids at our apartment
complex don't like me.

00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:13.870 align:middle line:84%
They laugh when after
work Moms blasts

00:01:13.870 --> 00:01:16.570 align:middle line:90%
"Hit Me Baby One More Time".

00:01:16.570 --> 00:01:20.830 align:middle line:84%
In Mexico, it's Los
Temerarios at every cantina,

00:01:20.830 --> 00:01:26.590 align:middle line:84%
but this thing, this
peanut butter business.

00:01:26.590 --> 00:01:29.680 align:middle line:84%
Other kids laugh when
Mom blasts "Hit Me Baby".

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:35.230 align:middle line:84%
Of all gringo things, peanut
butter makes me happiest.

00:01:35.230 --> 00:01:39.130 align:middle line:84%
Why didn't mom take some
jars when she picked me up

00:01:39.130 --> 00:01:40.750 align:middle line:90%
from the border?

00:01:40.750 --> 00:01:44.110 align:middle line:84%
Of all things, it
makes me happiest.

00:01:44.110 --> 00:01:48.070 align:middle line:84%
It would have made things
easier, so much easier.

00:01:48.070 --> 00:01:49.840 align:middle line:90%
Why didn't she take some?

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.040 align:middle line:84%
That brown, brown substance
from another planet

00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:59.730 align:middle line:84%
would have thickened my
mouth with so much laughter.

00:01:59.730 --> 00:02:02.000 align:middle line:90%
