The quiz asked, “Would you like to answer these questions again?” 205. Maria realized her hand was halfway through removing her flip flops. 206. She paused, frowning, confused but firm. 207. Hand squarely on hip, she chastised herself. “Why would I take off my shoes? These are my favorite flip flops!” 208. “Ay Dios, sólo yo,” she sighed, rolling her eyes at her own silliness. ### Maria Gonzalez Answers the Questions 209. She read each question and answered, out loud, for what she believed was the first time: 210. “Okay, let’s see: 211. 1. Tacos, obviously! 212. 2. Red. 213. 3. Loud, always. 214. 4.

Standing up slowly, Maria Gonzales shuffled toward the hallway mirror. 238. She paused, examining her new, familiar reflection. 239. “Como dijo mi mamá…” she said softly, “No seas floja, ponte a hacer algo!” 240. Then, in English, she smiled: “You’ve got this, Maria.” 241. She straightened her sweater, proud of her look. 242. She glanced at her hands, flexed her fingers. 243. She gave a little chuckle, noting with amusement the painted nails and bun. 244. Maria adjusted her glasses. “Well, of course the quiz got it right,” she said, laughing at herself. 245.

The house was quiet; her friend Lucas, now a vague memory, was just a neighbor’s boy. 247. Maria turned off the computer, no longer curious about quizzes. 248. She made a mental note to check on her carne asada soon. 249. “Ay, qué vida,” she sighed, her hand on her hip, content in her own skin at last. 250. And just like that, Maria was herself, a proud, chubby Mexican mom—forever.
