Mexican White Boy Part 3

I always feel out of place and awkward in a new place and sometimes in a place that I know very well. One of the times that I felt out of place was when I visited my aunts and uncles in Mexico with my grandma. I didn't know them that well and the people from San Luis Potosi are very different from the people in Baja California so I didn't really know how to act around them. I didn't know that they said 'hotcakes' instead of 'pancakes' and I didn't eat the same foods they ate, and I didn't say some stuff the same way. They also didn't treat each other the same way so I was never sure how to act around them. I felt like a fish out of water that week.
