38. Her eyes were a deep, expressive brown.
39. She was Mexican and proud of her cultural heritage.
40. Today, Maria wore a striking, silky short Mexican dress.
41. The dress was vibrant red with bold floral embroidery in yellow, white, blue, and green.
42. The material shimmered in the sunlight, soft to the touch and hugging her curves.

2) A chunky turquoise bracelet.
3) A gold chain necklace with a Virgen de Guadalupe pendant.
4) A wide golden wedding band on her left ring finger.
5) A large silver ring with a red jewel on her right hand.
53. That day, Jessica came by to pick up some tamales her mom had made, asking Luis to come with her.
54. Tommy stayed behind, left home alone in the Garcia house.
55. He peeked around the kitchen, feeling both awkward and hungry.
56. Tommy opened the fridge and saw tons of delicious leftovers, sauces, and stacked containers.
57. He glanced at the countertop and spotted a spread of ingredients: chopped tomatoes, onion, spicy peppers, shredded lettuce, diced white onion, and seasoned hamburger.
58. There were bowls of diced avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and a jar of spicy red salsa.
59. Shakers of cumin, garlic powder, and chili pepper lined the counter.
60. He saw a bowl of shredded cheddar cheese and another of crumbled cotija.
61. Maria had left out small bowls of Mexican crema and a huge mound of tortillas.
62. In the center was a bright bowl filled with fresh pico de gallo.
63. There was even a bottle of fiery habanero hot sauce.
64. But Tommy just wanted simple food.
65. He ignored all the delicious add-ons.
66. He took a flour tortilla, filled it with plain hamburger meat, and rolled it up tight.
67. He carefully placed the burrito in the microwave, setting the timer for 45 seconds.
68. As he turned away, the burrito slipped out of his hands, plopping messily onto the tile floor.
69. Tommy sighed, bent to pick it up, and tossed the fallen bits in the trash.
70. After glancing at the elaborate array of seasonings and toppings, he shook his head.
71. He eyed the cilantro dubiously.
72. He poked the lime wedges with a frown.
73. The spicy smells seemed overbearing.
74. He wrinkled his nose at the hot sauce and cheese.
75. He glanced at the crema but set it aside.
76. “Yuck,” he muttered. “Just plain is fine.”
77. Restless, Tommy wandered out of the kitchen.
78. He tiptoed down the hallway, curiosity pulling him toward Maria’s slightly open bedroom door.
79. The room was filled with the scent of perfume and flowers.
80. There was a big bed with a bright, hand-woven blanket, and family photos everywhere.
81. Tommy stepped inside, intending just to look, but tripped on the edge of a throw rug.
82. His sneakers skidded, and he fell forward, his socks scrunching off inside Maria’s gigantic flip flops.
83. He scrambled up, trying to kick the flip flops off.
84. His skinny white feet were swallowed up by the large, decorated straps.
85. But as he stepped, something strange began to happen.
**Tommy’s feet transformation (detailed, 1-15):**
86. His toes tingled, stretching wider, the skin growing dark and tan.
87. Little freckles vanished, replaced by a golden-brown color.
88. The bones creaked as his feet swelled chubbier, filling the flip flops snugly.
89. The arch of his foot flattened out.
90. His heels grew round and softened.
91. His ankles thickened, becoming soft and womanly.
92. Soft, dark hair appeared on the top of his foot before vanishing, replaced by smooth, tanned skin.
93. His pinky toe straightened, then curved back.
94. His toes became plump and round.
95. The skin on his soles thickened, rough yet somehow cared for.
96. Every toenail widened and lengthened.
97. A bright, glossy red polish spread over each toenail.
98. The polish shimmered, perfectly applied.
99. His toes spread comfortably into the flip flop straps.
100. The puffiness of his new feet matched Maria’s exactly.
101. Tommy tried to kick off the flip flops, but they were stuck.
102. He gaped in horror as he saw his now-adult, tan feet with painted red nails.
103. He caught sight of a photo on the dresser.
104. In the picture, Maria stood with her husband Hector at a family party.
105. Maria was wearing the same vibrant, silky red dress she wore in real life.
106. Hector had on a crisp white guayabera shirt and black slacks, arm around her shoulder.
107. They were laughing, Hector’s mouth open mid-joke, confetti in the background.
108. Next to the picture was a faded snapshot of Maria’s mother, Abuela Elena.
109. Elena was sitting in a rocking chair on the porch, knitting, wearing a blue rebozo and big gold glasses.
110. Tommy’s shaking arms knocked both photos to the floor as he struggled to regain his balance.
111. “I don’t want to be my friend’s mommy! I don’t want to kiss her husband!” Tommy wailed.
112. He bent over in alarm at the sight of his feet.
113. “Noooooooooooo! My feet look so gross and girly. Help, please!”
114. Then his legs started to crack and grow…
**Tommy’s legs transformation (detailed, 1-15):**

126. Bright embroidery stitched itself magically into the fabric.
127. The hemline rose flirtatiously above his new knees.
128. A faint smell of fabric softener and perfume wafted up.
129. His chubby adult Mexican legs now filled the dress just like Maria’s.
130. “I… I look so girly!” Tommy whimpered.
131. “Don’t want to be my friend’s mommy! She’s so old!”
**Tommy’s torso and chest transformation (detailed, 1-15):**

142. His arms ached as the sleeves grew puffed and frilly.
143. A faint floral perfume surrounded him.
144. His heart pounded in a panicked yet oddly motherly way.
145. His entire torso was now grown, maternal, soft, and unmistakably Maria’s.
**Tommy’s arms and hands transformation (detailed, 1-15):**
146. His shoulders expanded, arms growing thick and round.
147. The skin darkened, matching his Mexican tan.
148. His elbows dimpled, layers of plush flesh forming.
149. Downy hair vanished.
150. Wrists thickened, bracelets forming on his right arm.
151. His fingers elongated, growing wider, stronger, and more feminine.
152. The knuckles softened and disappeared under plush skin.
153. Each fingernail grew long, glossy, and flashed bright red polish.
154. The palm lines shifted, new callouses forming from years in a Mexican kitchen.
155. The backs of his hands became smooth and tanned, veins hiding.
156. A heavy gold chain necklace materialized around his neck.
157. He felt a wedding band slip onto his ring finger.
158. Rings appeared — one silver, one gold, both ornate.
159. His fingers plumped out one by one.
160. Both arms now matched Maria’s: strong, tan, and womanly.

181. Laugh lines etched the corners of the lips and eyes.

185. Smile lines deepened — a mother’s smile.
186. Face softening, aging, thickening.
187. Expression changed from fear to confusion, then resignation.
**Five pieces of jewelry manifested:**

191. A heavy golden wedding band wrapped tight around his left ring finger.
192. A large silver ring with a red jewel decorated his right hand.
**Accent and voice change:**
193. Tommy’s voice deepened and grew accented: a rich, motherly Mexican voice.
194. “¡AYYYYY!” he howled, clapping his hands over his mouth in fear.
195. Tears streamed down his face as he collapsed onto the bed.
196. The old memories faded, replaced by Maria’s — the smells of Mexican kitchens, mothering Luis, marrying Hector, a lifetime poured in.
197. Now, she only remembered being Maria Garcia.
198. Smiling, Maria bent down, adjusting the braided leather flip flops until her feet were perfectly fitted.
199. She rolled her foot back, checking the arch, then forward, pressing down to ensure comfort.
200. She wiggled her red toenails happily. “Perfecto.”
201. Maria shifted her weight, planted both feet, then clip-clopped over to the ornate mirror across the room.
202. She placed her gold-ringed hand to her chin and muttered, “What you doing, Mah-ree-ya? Why you no remember nothin’? Was suppose to get groceries, pick up tamales for Luis. Why you so loco today, Mah-reee-yah?” in thick, broken English.
203. Her gaze fell to the photos on the ground; she gasped, “¡AYYYYYYY!”
204. Fearing they’d shattered, she rushed to the floor, inspecting them anxiously.
205. With trembling hands, she picked up the picture of her mom, Abuela Elena, tears coming to her eyes.
206. “Ay, Mamá, te extraño mucho. Gracias por todo, Dios te bendiga,” she whispered in Spanish, voice thick with emotion.
207. Maria carefully set Abuela Elena’s photo back on the dresser, straightening it.
208. She picked up the photo of Hector and herself, realized what it was, and smiled admiringly at her husband.
209. She rested her left hand — admiring the deep red nails and her golden wedding ring — on the photo, sighing.
210. “Ah, Hector, mi amore, mi silly gordito hombre,” she crooned, planting a kiss on the lips of his image in the photo.
211. Then, gazing at herself in the photo, in her vibrant, silky red dress, she burst out: “Ees me! I look so bonita in these dress. I get them at la tienda especial on 6th Street, twenty-five year ago! Still fits, still beautiful!” She spun in front of the mirror, the skirt twirling.
212. Maria placed the photo gently back on the nightstand.
213. She grabbed her big floral purse, hoisting it over her shoulder.
214. She perched her sunglasses atop her head.
215. The microwave beeped from the kitchen. “¡QUE! I cook food? I no remember heat up anything!” she exclaimed.
216. Maria clip-clopped purposefully to the kitchen.
217. She stepped on something cold and squishy; glancing down, she scowled at the ground beef scattered on the floor.
218. Bending down with a sigh, she swept the mess aside.
219. She opened the microwave and peered at the lonely burrito inside.
220. Opening the tortilla, she wrinkled her nose.
221. “¡QUE CARAJO! Thees burrito es bland — just meat?” she bellowed. “Where ees the queso, el cilantro, the crema, the salsa? And why only uno? I eat more than thet. I fix burrito and make more!”
222. She began piling shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, crema, and spicy red salsa onto the burrito.
223. She rolled up four more tortillas, crammed them with meat and every available topping she loved.
224. “Five ees more like it!” she laughed, “Thees ees so good. Who make-uh thees? Oh right, I do!” She roared with laughter at her own joke.
225. She devoured all five burritos with great satisfaction, licking every red-fingernailed finger.
226. Done, she wiped her mouth, left the kitchen spotless, and left the house, carefully locking the door behind her.
227. She slid her sunglasses down over her eyes as she strode outside.
228. Catching her reflection in the car door, Maria grinned, “Ey, Mah-ree-ya, you looking caliente, girl! Gonna get you some goodies, ah?” in her thick accent.
229. She slid into her car and drove to the nearest market.
230. At the store, Maria grabbed a shopping cart, placed her floral purse in the seat, and pushed her sunglasses onto her forehead.
231. She loaded the cart with ingredients: tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, fresh cilantro, limes, avocados, queso fresco, crema, tortillas, corn, black beans, rice, cumin, garlic, chili powder, a big pork shoulder, shrimp, tamales, chicken breasts, three jars of mole, two big papayas, canned chiles, and four bottles of hot sauce.
232. Maria headed to the beer section, grabbing 2 cases of Corona and 2 cases of Modelo.
233. She made her way to the front to check out.
234. The cashier, a young white woman, frowned. “I need to see ID for the alcohol.”
235. Maria huffed. “¡QUE! I 65 year old! You no need my ID — no necesito. I have grown son, grandkids, see all these wrinkle? See all the gray? Ees obvious I abuela!” she protested, waving her gold-ringed hand.
236. The cashier rolled her eyes, muttering, “Typical Mexican…”
237. Maria’s jaw tightened. She marched around the counter, flip flops slapping, towering over the cashier.
238. “You speak me with respect, chica. I no do nothing wrong!” she snapped.
239. Transaction done, Maria exited, sunglasses down, loaded the car, returned the cart, and slipped into the driver’s seat.
240. As she drove, she fumed. “Eees ridiculous. Make fun of Mah-ree-ya just for accent. When I get home, first thing: open cool Modelo!” she said in broken English.
241. At home, Maria hauled in her groceries and neatly put all the food away.
242. She went back out, grabbed her purse, and stomped back into the house.
243. Still annoyed, she muttered, “Ayyyyyyy, white-uh people are so rude. Mocking me cause I’m espanish. But eeet’s okay, Mah-ree-ya, you strong, you proud. Let them talk. You make best food, best tamales.” She laughed, patting herself on the back.
244. She stood in front of the mirror, wagged a red-nailed finger at her reflection, and said, “You leave-uh problems at-uh the door, understand? Mah-ree-ya, don’t bring home drama.”
245. She nodded at herself in the mirror. “Yes, you right! Leave the problem at-uh the door. I should-uh know better — I am sixty y cinco year old, gracias Maria!” she said proudly.
246. Just then, Luis called from the living room, “Mamá, can I have uno — you know, the bubbly drink, not soda…?”
247. Maria thought hard, tapping her finger on her chin.
248. “Only tiny sip,” she said finally, “but only if you swap with mamá and walk to mailbox and bring mail and then go 8 house down, give Señora Rodriguez tamales. Must wear dress, nail polish, flip flops, wedding ring, and talk deep like mommy. Ees only way you try cerveza!” she insisted.
249. “Mami, you serious?” Luis asked, shocked.
250. “Si, mijo, you have nail polish, flip flops, dress, wedding ring, and deep mommy voice. Ees only way you drink cerveza,” she repeated.
251. Luis nodded, thinking his mom was teasing.
252. Suddenly, Maria snapped her fingers — their bodies swapped instantly.
253. Now in Maria’s big, curvy body, Luis looked down at himself in panic, wiggling fat feet, feeling the dress billow against his thighs.
254. He shakily clip-clopped toward the mailbox, the sound echoing down the sunny sidewalk.
255. The unfamiliar breeze on his legs nearly made him faint from stress.
256. He whispered, “Mom, can we please swap-uh back — por favor mijo — I mean no, why I say mijo!?”
257. Jessica, now in Luis’ body, giggled, “Oops! I forgot, I was erasing your memories! You can have that beer now, but in your mind, it won’t be your first time drinking… Now let me rub your feet… mommy!” she joked from her son’s mouth, beginning to knead Maria’s big feet.
258. The new Maria cried, “No, mommy, please, I–”
259. But as she protested, her last memories vanished, and Maria Garcia’s mind took over fully.
260. She looked down, suddenly calm, “Stop,” she smiled, then clip-clopped to the couch and plopped down, sticking her feet up.
261. “Please, mijo, I’m so sore. Keep rubbing mommy’s feet. Bring mommy a Modelo,” she ordered.
262. Jessica-in-Luis’s-body whined, “May I have one, mommy?”
263. The new Maria beamed, wagging a red-nailed finger. “No, mijo, no cerveza for you. Ees for mommy only!”
264. Maria kicked back, chugging her beer in contentment.
265. The new Maria Garcia, her memories now wholly those of a proud, loving Mexican mom, grinned at her son, forever at home in her silky red dress, her flip flops, and her role as jefa of the Garcia household.
266. Life, as always, was unpredictable — but at least the burritos would never be bland again.

That day, Jessica came by to pick up some tamales her mom had made, asking Luis to come with her. 54. Tommy stayed behind, left home alone in the Garcia house. 55. He peeked around the kitchen, feeling both awkward and hungry. 56. Tommy opened the fridge and saw tons of delicious leftovers, sauces, and stacked containers. 57. He glanced at the countertop and spotted a spread of ingredients: chopped tomatoes, onion, spicy peppers, shredded lettuce, diced white onion, and seasoned hamburger. 58. There were bowls of diced avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and a jar of spicy red salsa. 59. Shakers of cumin, garlic powder, and chili pepper lined the counter. 60. He saw a bowl of shredded cheddar cheese and another of crumbled cotija. 61. Maria had left out small bowls of Mexican crema and a huge mound of tortillas. 62. In the center was a bright bowl filled with fresh pico de gallo. 63. There was even a bottle of fiery habanero hot sauce. 64. But Tommy just wanted simple food. 65. He ignored all the delicious add-ons. 66. He took a flour tortilla, filled it with plain hamburger meat, and rolled it up tight. 67. He carefully placed the burrito in the microwave, setting the timer for 45 seconds. 68. As he turned away, the burrito slipped out of his hands, plopping messily onto the tile floor. 69. Tommy sighed, bent to pick it up, and tossed the fallen bits in the trash. 70. After glancing at the elaborate array of seasonings and toppings, he shook his head. 71. He eyed the cilantro dubiously. 72. He poked the lime wedges with a frown. 73. The spicy smells seemed overbearing. 74. He wrinkled his nose at the hot sauce and cheese. 75. He glanced at the crema but set it aside. 76. “Yuck,” he muttered. “Just plain is fine.” 77. Restless, Tommy wandered out of the kitchen. 78. He tiptoed down the hallway, curiosity pulling him toward Maria’s slightly open bedroom door. 79. The room was filled with the scent of perfume and flowers. 80. There was a big bed with a bright, hand-woven blanket, and family photos everywhere. 81. Tommy stepped inside, intending just to look, but tripped on the edge of a throw rug. 82. His sneakers skidded, and he fell forward, his socks scrunching off inside Maria’s gigantic flip flops. 83. He scrambled up, trying to kick the flip flops off. 84. His skinny white feet were swallowed up by the large, decorated straps. 85. But as he stepped, something strange began to happen. **Tommy’s feet transformation (detailed, 1-15):** 86. His toes tingled, stretching wider, the skin growing dark and tan. 87. Little freckles vanished, replaced by a golden-brown color. 88. The bones creaked as his feet swelled chubbier, filling the flip flops snugly. 89. The arch of his foot flattened out. 90. His heels grew round and softened. 91. His ankles thickened, becoming soft and womanly. 92. Soft, dark hair appeared on the top of his foot before vanishing, replaced by smooth, tanned skin. 93. His pinky toe straightened, then curved back. 94. His toes became plump and round. 95. The skin on his soles thickened, rough yet somehow cared for. 96. Every toenail widened and lengthened. 97. A bright, glossy red polish spread over each toenail. 98. The polish shimmered, perfectly applied. 99. His toes spread comfortably into the flip flop straps. 100. The puffiness of his new feet matched Maria’s exactly. 101. Tommy tried to kick off the flip flops, but they were stuck. 102. He gaped in horror as he saw his now-adult, tan feet with painted red nails. 103. He caught sight of a photo on the dresser. 104. In the picture, Maria stood with her husband Hector at a family party. 105. Maria was wearing the same vibrant, silky red dress she wore in real life. 106. Hector had on a crisp white guayabera shirt and black slacks, arm around her shoulder. 107. They were laughing, Hector’s mouth open mid-joke, confetti in the background. 108. Next to the picture was a faded snapshot of Maria’s mother, Abuela Elena. 109. Elena was sitting in a rocking chair on the porch, knitting, wearing a blue rebozo and big gold glasses. 110. Tommy’s shaking arms knocked both photos to the floor as he struggled to regain his balance. 111. “I don’t want to be my friend’s mommy! I don’t want to kiss her husband!” Tommy wailed. 112. He bent over in alarm at the sight of his feet. 113. “Noooooooooooo! My feet look so gross and girly. Help, please!” 114. Then his legs started to crack and grow… **Tommy’s legs transformation (detailed, 1-15):** 115. His shins lengthened, skin turning warm and tan. 116. Aches flooded his knees as they expanded. 117. The calves rounded out, swelling with soft flesh. 118. Hairs disappeared, replaced by smooth, glowy skin. 119. His thighs puffed out, thick and padded with adult fat. 120. Stretch marks subtly patterned the sides. 121. The skin between ankle and thigh developed the soft sheen of adulthood. 122. His knees dimpled, becoming rounded. 123. The fine downy hair vanished completely. 124. The muscles beneath softened, losing all boyish definition. 125. The outline of the bottom half of Maria’s dress formed, the red skirt settling around his growing hips. 126. Bright embroidery stitched itself magically into the fabric. 127. The hemline rose flirtatiously above his new knees. 128. A faint smell of fabric softener and perfume wafted up. 129. His chubby adult Mexican legs now filled the dress just like Maria’s. 130. “I… I look so girly!” Tommy whimpered. 131. “Don’t want to be my friend’s mommy! She’s so old!” **Tommy’s torso and chest transformation (detailed, 1-15):** 132. His belly swelled, skin stretching, waist rounding with plush softness. 133. His ribs widened, torso expanding outward. 134. His hips widened further, the skirt digging in. 135. His sides became soft, building adult curves. 136. His chest tingled as new softness formed; his upper chest grew large, full, and womanly. 137. His shirt vanished, replaced by the upper red, embroidered bodice of Maria’s Mexican dress. 138. Padded support circles formed inside the dress at the bust. 139. Lacy white trim stretched along the neckline. 140. Faint lines of cleavage swelled at the v-neck opening. 141. The dress hugged his new proportions perfectly. 142. His arms ached as the sleeves grew puffed and frilly. 143. A faint floral perfume surrounded him. 144. His heart pounded in a panicked yet oddly motherly way. 145. His entire torso was now grown, maternal, soft, and unmistakably Maria’s. **Tommy’s arms and hands transformation (detailed, 1-15):** 146. His shoulders expanded, arms growing thick and round. 147. The skin darkened, matching his Mexican tan. 148. His elbows dimpled, layers of plush flesh forming. 149. Downy hair vanished. 150. Wrists thickened, bracelets forming on his right arm. 151. His fingers elongated, growing wider, stronger, and more feminine. 152. The knuckles softened and disappeared under plush skin. 153. Each fingernail grew long, glossy, and flashed bright red polish. 154. The palm lines shifted, new callouses forming from years in a Mexican kitchen. 155. The backs of his hands became smooth and tanned, veins hiding. 156. A heavy gold chain necklace materialized around his neck. 157. He felt a wedding band slip onto his ring finger. 158. Rings appeared — one silver, one gold, both ornate. 159. His fingers plumped out one by one. 160. Both arms now matched Maria’s: strong, tan, and womanly. 161. “I look so… girly,” he whispered. “Don’t want to be my friend’s mommy! She’s so old.” **Tommy’s head/hair/face transformation (detailed, 1-25):** 162. His chin broadened, jawline rounding out. 163. Cheeks rounded, cheekbones rising high. 164. The skin darkened, flush of tan overtaking the freckled paleness. 165. Forehead smoothed, brow arching more expressively. 166. Brows thickened, shaped delicately. 167.

Eyes became large, almond-shaped, deep brown. 172. The lashes thickened, curling seductively. 173. Eyelids took on a hint of gold eyeshadow. 174. Maria’s signature wavy hair began to flow from his scalp. 175. Blond faded to jet black, locks lengthening down his back. 176. Parted in the center, the hair shimmered with health. 177. A subtle part revealed a little touch of gray at the temples. 178. The soft scent of shampoo and perfume filled the air. 179. A dimple formed on one cheek. 180. The skin on his neck grew supple, even. 181. Laugh lines etched the corners of the lips and eyes. 182. Jaw rounded, matching Maria’s. 183. Eyeliner and a faint blush appeared. 184. Little moles formed: one on the left cheek, one above the lip. 185. Smile lines deepened — a mother’s smile. 186. Face softening, aging, thickening. 187. Expression changed from fear to confusion, then resignation. **Five pieces of jewelry manifested:** 188. Thick gold hoop earrings dangled from his ears. 189. Turquoise bracelet appeared on his right wrist. 190. Gold chain necklace, with Virgen de Guadalupe pendant, settled on his neck. 191. A heavy golden wedding band wrapped tight around his left ring finger. 192. A large silver ring with a red jewel decorated his right hand. **Accent and voice change:** 193. Tommy’s voice deepened and grew accented: a rich, motherly Mexican voice. 194. “¡AYYYYY!” he howled, clapping his hands over his mouth in fear. 195. Tears streamed down his face as he collapsed onto the bed. 196. The old memories faded, replaced by Maria’s — the smells of Mexican kitchens, mothering Luis, marrying Hector, a lifetime poured in. 197. Now, she only remembered being Maria Garcia. 198. Smiling, Maria bent down, adjusting the braided leather flip flops until her feet were perfectly fitted. 199. She rolled her foot back, checking the arch, then forward, pressing down to ensure comfort. 200. She wiggled her red toenails happily. “Perfecto.” 201. Maria shifted her weight, planted both feet, then clip-clopped over to the ornate mirror across the room. 202. She placed her gold-ringed hand to her chin and muttered, “What you doing, Mah-ree-ya? Why you no remember nothin’? Was suppose to get groceries, pick up tamales for Luis. Why you so loco today, Mah-reee-yah?” in thick, broken English. 203. Her gaze fell to the photos on the ground; she gasped, “¡AYYYYYYY!” 204. Fearing they’d shattered, she rushed to the floor, inspecting them anxiously. 205. With trembling hands, she picked up the picture of her mom, Abuela Elena, tears coming to her eyes. 206. “Ay, Mamá, te extraño mucho. Gracias por todo, Dios te bendiga,” she whispered in Spanish, voice thick with emotion. 207. Maria carefully set Abuela Elena’s photo back on the dresser, straightening it. 208. She picked up the photo of Hector and herself, realized what it was, and smiled admiringly at her husband. 209. She rested her left hand — admiring the deep red nails and her golden wedding ring — on the photo, sighing. 210. “Ah, Hector, mi amore, mi silly gordito hombre,” she crooned, planting a kiss on the lips of his image in the photo. 211. Then, gazing at herself in the photo, in her vibrant, silky red dress, she burst out: “Ees me! I look so bonita in these dress. I get them at la tienda especial on 6th Street, twenty-five year ago! Still fits, still beautiful!” She spun in front of the mirror, the skirt twirling. 212. Maria placed the photo gently back on the nightstand. 213. She grabbed her big floral purse, hoisting it over her shoulder. 214. She perched her sunglasses atop her head. 215. The microwave beeped from the kitchen. “¡QUE! I cook food? I no remember heat up anything!” she exclaimed. 216. Maria clip-clopped purposefully to the kitchen. 217. She stepped on something cold and squishy; glancing down, she scowled at the ground beef scattered on the floor. 218. Bending down with a sigh, she swept the mess aside. 219. She opened the microwave and peered at the lonely burrito inside. 220. Opening the tortilla, she wrinkled her nose. 221. “¡QUE CARAJO! Thees burrito es bland — just meat?” she bellowed. “Where ees the queso, el cilantro, the crema, the salsa? And why only uno? I eat more than thet. I fix burrito and make more!” 222. She began piling shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, crema, and spicy red salsa onto the burrito. 223. She rolled up four more tortillas, crammed them with meat and every available topping she loved. 224. “Five ees more like it!” she laughed, “Thees ees so good. Who make-uh thees? Oh right, I do!” She roared with laughter at her own joke. 225. She devoured all five burritos with great satisfaction, licking every red-fingernailed finger. 226. Done, she wiped her mouth, left the kitchen spotless, and left the house, carefully locking the door behind her. 227. She slid her sunglasses down over her eyes as she strode outside. 228. Catching her reflection in the car door, Maria grinned, “Ey, Mah-ree-ya, you looking caliente, girl! Gonna get you some goodies, ah?” in her thick accent. 229. She slid into her car and drove to the nearest market. 230. At the store, Maria grabbed a shopping cart, placed her floral purse in the seat, and pushed her sunglasses onto her forehead. 231. She loaded the cart with ingredients: tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, fresh cilantro, limes, avocados, queso fresco, crema, tortillas, corn, black beans, rice, cumin, garlic, chili powder, a big pork shoulder, shrimp, tamales, chicken breasts, three jars of mole, two big papayas, canned chiles, and four bottles of hot sauce. 232. Maria headed to the beer section, grabbing 2 cases of Corona and 2 cases of Modelo. 233. She made her way to the front to check out. 234. The cashier, a young white woman, frowned. “I need to see ID for the alcohol.” 235. Maria huffed. “¡QUE! I 65 year old! You no need my ID — no necesito. I have grown son, grandkids, see all these wrinkle? See all the gray? Ees obvious I abuela!” she protested, waving her gold-ringed hand. 236. The cashier rolled her eyes, muttering, “Typical Mexican…” 237. Maria’s jaw tightened. She marched around the counter, flip flops slapping, towering over the cashier. 238. “You speak me with respect, chica. I no do nothing wrong!” she snapped. 239. Transaction done, Maria exited, sunglasses down, loaded the car, returned the cart, and slipped into the driver’s seat. 240. As she drove, she fumed. “Eees ridiculous. Make fun of Mah-ree-ya just for accent. When I get home, first thing: open cool Modelo!” she said in broken English. 241. At home, Maria hauled in her groceries and neatly put all the food away. 242. She went back out, grabbed her purse, and stomped back into the house. 243. Still annoyed, she muttered, “Ayyyyyyy, white-uh people are so rude. Mocking me cause I’m espanish. But eeet’s okay, Mah-ree-ya, you strong, you proud. Let them talk. You make best food, best tamales.” She laughed, patting herself on the back. 244. She stood in front of the mirror, wagged a red-nailed finger at her reflection, and said, “You leave-uh problems at-uh the door, understand? Mah-ree-ya, don’t bring home drama.” 245. She nodded at herself in the mirror. “Yes, you right! Leave the problem at-uh the door. I should-uh know better — I am sixty y cinco year old, gracias Maria!” she said proudly. 246. Just then, Luis called from the living room, “Mamá, can I have uno — you know, the bubbly drink, not soda…?” 247. Maria thought hard, tapping her finger on her chin. 248. “Only tiny sip,” she said finally, “but only if you swap with mamá and walk to mailbox and bring mail and then go 8 house down, give Señora Rodriguez tamales. Must wear dress, nail polish, flip flops, wedding ring, and talk deep like mommy. Ees only way you try cerveza!” she insisted. 249. “Mami, you serious?” Luis asked, shocked. 250. “Si, mijo, you have nail polish, flip flops, dress, wedding ring, and deep mommy voice. Ees only way you drink cerveza,” she repeated. 251. Luis nodded, thinking his mom was teasing. 252. Suddenly, Maria snapped her fingers — their bodies swapped instantly. 253. Now in Maria’s big, curvy body, Luis looked down at himself in panic, wiggling fat feet, feeling the dress billow against his thighs. 254. He shakily clip-clopped toward the mailbox, the sound echoing down the sunny sidewalk. 255. The unfamiliar breeze on his legs nearly made him faint from stress. 256. He whispered, “Mom, can we please swap-uh back — por favor mijo — I mean no, why I say mijo!?” 257. Jessica, now in Luis’ body, giggled, “Oops! I forgot, I was erasing your memories! You can have that beer now, but in your mind, it won’t be your first time drinking… Now let me rub your feet… mommy!” she joked from her son’s mouth, beginning to knead Maria’s big feet. 258. The new Maria cried, “No, mommy, please, I–” 259. But as she protested, her last memories vanished, and Maria Garcia’s mind took over fully. 260. She looked down, suddenly calm, “Stop,” she smiled, then clip-clopped to the couch and plopped down, sticking her feet up. 261. “Please, mijo, I’m so sore. Keep rubbing mommy’s feet. Bring mommy a Modelo,” she ordered. 262. Jessica-in-Luis’s-body whined, “May I have one, mommy?” 263. The new Maria beamed, wagging a red-nailed finger. “No, mijo, no cerveza for you. Ees for mommy only!” 264. Maria kicked back, chugging her beer in contentment. 265. The new Maria Garcia, her memories now wholly those of a proud, loving Mexican mom, grinned at her son, forever at home in her silky red dress, her flip flops, and her role as jefa of the Garcia household. 266. Life, as always, was unpredictable — but at least the burritos would never be bland again.
