Cinco-No-No

(Today is Cinco de Mayo. My friend is known for having some… special moments.)

Friend: “Happy Cinco de Marco!”

Me: “Uh… Cinco de Mayo.”

(Later…)

Me: “Fun fact: Cinco de Mayo isn’t really celebrated at all in Mexico except in one small town.”

Friend: “Really? But isn’t today like Day of the Dead? I thought that was really big in Mexico?”

Me: “That’s Día de los Muertos, and it’s around Halloween. You know, the holiday with the sugar skulls and stuff?”

Friend: “Oh, I thought that was in May.”

Me: “No… You live 45 minutes from the border and you don’t know this?”
