33. Her birthday was November 2nd, 1967.
34. She stood 5 feet 1 inch.
35. She weighed 327 pounds.
36. Her hair was long, wavy, and curly—a tangled waterfall of jet-black that cascaded down her back.
37. Rosalinda’s eyes were dark brown and sparkling.
38. That lazy Saturday, Rosalinda wore her favorite Mexican dress—a modern huipil, deep crimson, silky and short, embroidered with fat marigolds and blue roses, gold threading along the v-neck and sleeves, snug across her full chest, fluttering down to mid-thigh, showing brown knees.
39. She wore flip-flops: navy blue foam soles, thick white straps with faux-diamond studs, the word “Bonita” in gold cursive along one sole.
40. Her toenails flashed—a glossy, candy-apple red.
41. Rosalinda’s hands were heavy with jewelry:
42. 1. A thick wedding ring of white gold.
43. 2. An opal-studded silver bracelet.
44. 3. Big gold hoop earrings.
45. 4. A chain with a tiny Virgen de Guadalupe medallion.
46. 5. A turquoise ring on her right middle finger.
47. Rosalinda called for Diego and said, “Vámonos! We pick up Abuelita, Diego.”
48. Diego scampered out after his mother, who winked at Henry. “Be good, mijito.”
49. “I will!” Henry called, now alone in the house.
50. The delicious, spicy air made his mouth water.
51. His tummy rumbled.
52. All the fixings sat out on the counter: chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, garlic salt, small onions, tomatoes, green and red peppers, chopped cilantro, a bowl of lime wedges, three bottles of hot sauce, a mound of grated cheese, tubs of creamy crema, a jar of fresh pico de gallo.
53. But Henry didn’t want any of that.
54. He just wanted something quick and plain.
55. He pulled a tortilla from the pack with his small hands.
56. He found a Tupperware of cooked hamburger meat in the fridge.
57. He scooped out a little, plopping it inside the tortilla.
58. He rolled it—it fell apart—so he rolled it again, less neatly.
59. He put it on a plate and slid it into the microwave.
60. He set the timer for 30 seconds.
61. The hum filled the kitchen.
62. He leaned against the counter, waiting.
63. But he was clumsy—just as the microwave beeped, he bumped his elbow.
64. The plate tipped.
65. The burrito slipped, plopping onto the tiled floor with a soft splat.
66. “Dang!” Henry muttered.
67. He bent down and saw that hamburger had fallen out, but—whatever—he was still hungry.
68. He glanced at the counter.
69. He saw chili powder, cumin, chopped cilantro, pico de gallo, crema, shredded cheese, hot sauce, lime wedges, onions, lettuce—all beautifully arranged in bright, mismatched bowls with flower patterns.
70. Henry wrinkled his nose.
71. Too many flavors.
72. He picked up the messy burrito chunk and shoved it in his mouth anyway.
73. He chewed, then swallowed, wishing he hadn’t dropped it.
74. Wiping his mouth, Henry grew curious.
75. He peeked down the hallway, padding softly in his socks.
76. Something about other people’s houses always made him want to explore.
77. Passing a beaded curtain—sooo cool—he stepped into Rosalinda’s bedroom.
78. It smelled like her—floral, spicy, a hint of lavender.
79. Her bed was messy, pillows askew.
80. A big wooden dresser had ornate carvings of hummingbirds.
81. There was a full-length mirror with a scarf over one side.
82. Henry stepped further in, still holding his empty plate.
83. Suddenly, he tripped on his own socks, skipping tangled in the pile near the foot of the bed.
84. He wobbled—whoa!—and his foot jammed straight into one of Rosalinda’s flip-flops.
85. He hadn’t meant to put it on—it just happened.
86. He yanked his other foot back—but tripped again—now both feet were wedged in the two oversized flip-flops.
87. “Um,” he muttered, “I didn’t—uh—”
88. He tried to kick them off.
89. His toes wouldn’t slip out.
90. Something odd crackled beneath his skin.
91. His feet began to prickle, then itch, then ache.
92. 1. His heel stretched, thickened.
93. 2. His toes grew chubbier, pads swelling.
94. 3. The arch flattened into a wider, adult shape.
95. 4. The skin darkened, shifting from pink to a warm tan.
96. 5. His toenails elongated, broadening at each tip.
97. 6. Red polish bubbled up, glossy as if just painted.
98. 7. His right foot’s pinky toe developed an old scar he never had before.
99. 8. His ankles turned round and soft.

103. 12. The flip-flops hugged him like they were his own.
104. 13. The word “Bonita” shone beneath his sole.
105. 14. His skin took on a gentle, golden brown.
106. 15. His toes wiggled, somehow delighted with the space.
107. Henry gasped, clutching at the dresser.
108. He looked down—those were not his feet.
109. In the dresser mirror, red toenails sparkled.
110. He tried to pry the flip-flops off—no luck.
111. Something glinted on the nearby nightstand: a photo.
112. It was Rosalinda, in her red dress, hugging a mustached man in a pressed blue shirt and black slacks at the beach, both holding hands, laughing as the wind whipped their hair.
113. “I don’t want to be my friend’s mommy,” Henry whimpered, “I don’t want to kiss her husband.”
114. Next to that photo, another stood propped—a much older Mexican lady in traditional black and violet huipil, sitting in a rocking chair on the porch, grinning at a Chihuahua in her lap.
115. “Noooooooo,” Henry moaned as his feet swelled, “my feet look so gross and girly—help please!”
116. His knees buckled as his legs popped and lengthened.
117. 1. His shins thickened, dimples appearing at the knees.

126. 10. His calves widened, calves jostling.
127. 11. Skin loosened, stretching with age.
128. 12. Stretch marks traced gentle arcs across his upper legs.

130. 14. His feet now perfectly fit the flip-flops.
131. 15. The bottom half of Rosalinda’s silky dress hugged his legs.
132. He tried to sit—couldn’t fit in Diego’s tiny desk chair—so wobbled by the mirror.
133. His stomach gurgled, chest tightening.
134. 1. His waist widened, belly ballooning out.
135. 2. A roll formed above his waistband—the waistband now tight at his upper thigh.

193. Henry struggled to speak, but his voice tumbled out in Rosalinda’s thick accent.
194. “¡AYYYYYY!” he yelped, slapping his hand over his mouth.
195. Tears began to fall; sobs wracked his big frame.
196. Memories began streaming away—school, Lego, Diego—being replaced by memories of shopping, cooking, raising a son, loving her husband, celebrating Día de los Muertos, and living as Rosalinda Hernández.
197. The name “Rosalinda Hernández” anchored in her mind—her only identity.
198. She blinked, sniffled, and looked around her room.
199. Rosalinda smiled, then bent, adjusting those familiar flip-flops—wiggling her chubby brown toes for a good fit.
200. “Perfecto,” she pronounced with satisfaction.
201. She shifted, standing, click-clacking toward her mirror.
202. Hand under chin, she murmured (in thick accent), “Wat you doing, Ro-sa-leenda? Why you no remember anyting? You was supposed to go wit Diego to abuelita for the tamales, ay dios mio...”
203. On the floor: the photos!
204. “¡AYYYYYYY!” she shrieked, thinking they’d shattered.
205. She dropped to her knees, grabbing the first: her mother, holding the Chihuahua on her lap, in her black and violet huipil, grinning on the porch.
206. Tears pricked Rosalinda’s eyes. She whispered, “Te extraño, mamá. Siempre te llevo en mi corazón.”
207. Carefully, she replaced the photo.
208. Then, with her right hand, she picked up the beach picture—her and her husband holding hands, her in that red dress.
209. Resting her left hand on the glass, she admired it, gazing at her nails and her shining wedding ring.
210. “Ay, Pablo… mi gordito bonito… mama’s big bear…” she giggled, then planted a bright kiss on his lips in the picture.
211. Her eyes lingered on her photo-self—same dress as now, same hair, same smile.
212. “Ay-yo, Rosalinda, you look so pretty. Thees dress, I get at hombre el Mercado el sabado pasado. Fits like glove!” she said, spinning, the dress fluttering against her knees.
213. Placing the photo back lovingly, she grabbed her purse, slinging the bright flowered bag onto her shoulder.
214. She perched her big sunglasses up on her forehead, pushing back her curls.
215. Suddenly the microwave beeped from the kitchen.
216. “¡QUE! I cook food? I no remember heat up anytheeng…” she muttered.
217. Clip-clopping in her flip-flops through the hall, she stepped on something squishy—looked down, annoyed to see cold ground beef on the tile.
218. “Ay, por favor…” she grumbled, switching off the microwave.
219. Rosalinda opened it, pulled out the sad, spilled burrito.
220. “¡QUE CARAJO! Thees burrito es bland, just meat—where ees the cilantro and the salsa and the crema and the queso, and why only uno? I eat more than that! I fix burrito and make more!” she declared, shaking her head.
221. She swept pico de gallo, cilantro, lime wedges, crema, salsa, queso, and hot sauce into the plain burrito, rolling it back up.
222. Then, with expert hands, she made four more, rolling, stuffing, lathering crema and salsa on each.
223. “Five ees more like eet! Thees ees so good—who make-uh these? Oh right, I do!” she cackled, shaking with laughter.
224. She sat at the kitchen table, devouring all five burritos in one sitting, savoring every spicy bite.
225. Wiping her hands on a towel, she locked the door, slung her sunglasses down, and headed outside.
226. On the car’s metallic door, her reflection sparkled.
227. “Ey, Rosalinda! Lookin’ good, mami! Red dress, sunglasses, ay-yo, you got it,” she said, grinning, hips swaying as she settled into the car and drove toward the Supermercado.
228. Inside, she grabbed a shopping cart and tossed her purse in, popping her sunglasses up again.
229. She piled her cart full of:
230. Fresh masa for tortillas.
231. Two dozen eggs.
232. Four chorizo sausages.
233. Green onions, white onions, red onions.
234. Three mangos, a ripe papaya, a bag of guavas.
235. Four limes and two lemons.
236. Avocados by the bag.
237. Tomatoes—Roma and Heirloom.
238. Bell peppers, jalapeños, serrano chiles.
239. Four types of cheese: queso fresco, cotija, Oaxaca, and yellow cheddar.
240. Milk, heavy cream, a sack of flour, 5 pounds of rice, 10 pounds of dried beans.
241. Seasoning jars: cumin, Mexican oregano, garlic bulbs, chile powder.
242. Five bags of tortilla chips.
243. Four tubs of crema fresca.
244. She added two big watermelons for dessert.
245. In the beer aisle, she grabbed two cases of Corona and two cases of Modelo.
246. At the register, a young white woman rolled her eyes, “ID, please.”
247. Rosalinda bristled. “¡QUE! I 56 year old! You no need my ID—no necesito! You see my face, my hair, my wrinkles, mija? I buy more beer than you been born, ay dios mio!” she huffed.
248. The cashier frowned, but let her take the beer, muttering, “Typical Mexican…”
249. Rosalinda’s cheeks burned. She stomped around the counter, flip-flops slapping. “Ay, señorita! Who you call ‘typical’? I work hard, pay my bills, raise my niños, you show respect!”
250. Muttering, she swept her things to the car, sunglasses dropped hard over her eyes, loaded everything with a grunt.
251. Returning the cart, she slid behind the steering wheel.
252. “Ayyy, that cashier… I get home, I open a beer—Corona first, ees so cold, so good, better than her ugly face! Salud to Rosalinda!” she said.
253. Rosalinda brought everything inside, quick and efficient.
254. She stashed the groceries in the kitchen, humming ranchera tunes.
255. She fetched her purse, threw it on her shoulder.
256. Inside, she shook her head at the memory of the rude cashier.
257. “Ayyyyyy, white-uh people are so rude, mocking me ‘cause I’m espanish. Who cares, Rosalinda? You cook better, dance better!” she laughed, patting herself on the back.
258. Facing the hallway mirror, she wagged her red-nailed finger: “You leave-uh problems at-uh the door, understand? Rosalinda.”
259. She winked. “Yes, you right, leave the problem at-uh door, I should-uh know better. I Rosalinda, tengo cincuenta y seis años, gracias Rosalinda!” she grinned.
260. Just then, Diego—her son—peeked in: “Mami, can I try a Modelo? Just a sip, not the whole cervezita.”
261. Rosalinda paused, thinking for a long moment.
262. “Mmm… only one tiny sip, mijo… but only eef you swap con mami y walk to mailbox and bring back mail—no, and go eight doors to señora Morales with fresh tamales, wear my flip-flops, nail polish, dress, all of it, speak like me… then tiny sip!” she teased.
263. “Mami, you serious?” asked Diego, wide-eyed.
264. “Si, mijo! You have nail polish y flip flops y dress y wedding ring y deep mommy voice—ees only way you drink cerveza.”
265. Diego shrugged—surely, she didn’t mean it.
266. Suddenly, the world spun.
267. Diego vanish

It was Rosalinda, in her red dress, hugging a mustached man in a pressed blue shirt and black slacks at the beach, both holding hands, laughing as the wind whipped their hair. 113. “I don’t want to be my friend’s mommy,” Henry whimpered, “I don’t want to kiss her husband.” 114. Next to that photo, another stood propped—a much older Mexican lady in traditional black and violet huipil, sitting in a rocking chair on the porch, grinning at a Chihuahua in her lap. 115. “Noooooooo,” Henry moaned as his feet swelled, “my feet look so gross and girly—help please!” 116.

Tears began to fall; sobs wracked his big frame. 196. Memories began streaming away—school, Lego, Diego—being replaced by memories of shopping, cooking, raising a son, loving her husband, celebrating Día de los Muertos, and living as Rosalinda Hernández. 197.

She whispered, “Te extraño, mamá. Siempre te llevo en mi corazón.” 207. Carefully, she replaced the photo. 208. Then, with her right hand, she picked up the beach picture—her and her husband holding hands, her in that red dress. 209. Resting her left hand on the glass, she admired it, gazing at her nails and her shining wedding ring. 210. “Ay, Pablo… mi gordito bonito… mama’s big bear…” she giggled, then planted a bright kiss on his lips in the picture. 211. Her eyes lingered on her photo-self—same dress as now, same hair, same smile. 212. “Ay-yo, Rosalinda, you look so pretty. Thees dress, I get at hombre el Mercado el sabado pasado. Fits like glove!” she said, spinning, the dress fluttering against her knees. 213. Placing the photo back lovingly, she grabbed her purse, slinging the bright flowered bag onto her shoulder. 214. She perched her big sunglasses up on her forehead, pushing back her curls. 215. Suddenly the microwave beeped from the kitchen. 216. “¡QUE! I cook food? I no remember heat up anytheeng…” she muttered. 217. Clip-clopping in her flip-flops through the hall, she stepped on something squishy—looked down, annoyed to see cold ground beef on the tile. 218. “Ay, por favor…” she grumbled, switching off the microwave. 219. Rosalinda opened it, pulled out the sad, spilled burrito. 220. “¡QUE CARAJO! Thees burrito es bland, just meat—where ees the cilantro and the salsa and the crema and the queso, and why only uno? I eat more than that! I fix burrito and make more!” she declared, shaking her head. 221. She swept pico de gallo, cilantro, lime wedges, crema, salsa, queso, and hot sauce into the plain burrito, rolling it back up. 222. Then, with expert hands, she made four more, rolling, stuffing, lathering crema and salsa on each. 223. “Five ees more like eet! Thees ees so good—who make-uh these? Oh right, I do!” she cackled, shaking with laughter. 224. She sat at the kitchen table, devouring all five burritos in one sitting, savoring every spicy bite. 225. Wiping her hands on a towel, she locked the door, slung her sunglasses down, and headed outside. 226. On the car’s metallic door, her reflection sparkled. 227. “Ey, Rosalinda! Lookin’ good, mami! Red dress, sunglasses, ay-yo, you got it,” she said, grinning, hips swaying as she settled into the car and drove toward the Supermercado. 228. Inside, she grabbed a shopping cart and tossed her purse in, popping her sunglasses up again. 229. She piled her cart full of: 230. Fresh masa for tortillas. 231. Two dozen eggs. 232. Four chorizo sausages. 233. Green onions, white onions, red onions. 234. Three mangos, a ripe papaya, a bag of guavas. 235. Four limes and two lemons. 236. Avocados by the bag. 237.

Four tubs of crema fresca. 244. She added two big watermelons for dessert. 245. In the beer aisle, she grabbed two cases of Corona and two cases of Modelo. 246. At the register, a young white woman rolled her eyes, “ID, please.” 247. Rosalinda bristled. “¡QUE! I 56 year old! You no need my ID—no necesito! You see my face, my hair, my wrinkles, mija? I buy more beer than you been born, ay dios mio!” she huffed. 248. The cashier frowned, but let her take the beer, muttering, “Typical Mexican…” 249. Rosalinda’s cheeks burned. She stomped around the counter, flip-flops slapping. “Ay, señorita! Who you call ‘typical’? I work hard, pay my bills, raise my niños, you show respect!” 250. Muttering, she swept her things to the car, sunglasses dropped hard over her eyes, loaded everything with a grunt. 251. Returning the cart, she slid behind the steering wheel. 252. “Ayyy, that cashier… I get home, I open a beer—Corona first, ees so cold, so good, better than her ugly face! Salud to Rosalinda!” she said. 253. Rosalinda brought everything inside, quick and efficient. 254. She stashed the groceries in the kitchen, humming ranchera tunes. 255. She fetched her purse, threw it on her shoulder. 256. Inside, she shook her head at the memory of the rude cashier. 257. “Ayyyyyy, white-uh people are so rude, mocking me ‘cause I’m espanish. Who cares, Rosalinda? You cook better, dance better!” she laughed, patting herself on the back. 258. Facing the hallway mirror, she wagged her red-nailed finger: “You leave-uh problems at-uh the door, understand? Rosalinda.” 259. She winked. “Yes, you right, leave the problem at-uh door, I should-uh know better. I Rosalinda, tengo cincuenta y seis años, gracias Rosalinda!” she grinned. 260. Just then, Diego—her son—peeked in: “Mami, can I try a Modelo? Just a sip, not the whole cervezita.” 261. Rosalinda paused, thinking for a long moment. 262. “Mmm… only one tiny sip, mijo… but only eef you swap con mami y walk to mailbox and bring back mail—no, and go eight doors to señora Morales with fresh tamales, wear my flip-flops, nail polish, dress, all of it, speak like me… then tiny sip!” she teased. 263. “Mami, you serious?” asked Diego, wide-eyed. 264. “Si, mijo! You have nail polish y flip flops y dress y wedding ring y deep mommy voice—ees only way you drink cerveza.” 265. Diego shrugged—surely, she didn’t mean it. 266. Suddenly, the world spun. 267. Diego vanish
