The Fooda is a Gooda

T-shirt time every Tuesday! This week the t-shirt Yadiry is being highlighted. Yadiry is my little sister and for a long time my nemesis. I hated this little girl because before she came I was the baby. I cried for weeks.I kept saying no one will call me "Bello" no more. Bello was the name my dad called me, I believe it meant beautiful in Italian (Bella). Although, he always wanted a boy so I guess that's why it was Bello and not Bella, but that's a whole different story. When Yadiry got home from the hospital, I took one look in her white crib and said,"She is an ugly thang," with a face of disgust (it kinda look like I smelled something funky).

As the years went by, I warmed up to her. Literally, it took me like seven years to say that I liked my sister. I got over my jealousy and we actually starting spending time together. We went over my cousin Yelitza's house and Yelitza decided to teach Yadiry to read. The words on the paper read as follows, "THE FOOD IS GOOD." Yadiry, a little brown girl with a curly frizzing pony tail, did her little best to read it.

First she started with the pronunciation. She said, "Guu--ddaa." She took a deep breath and did this whole savouring with her mouth and finally she took a big gulp of air. She squinted her eyes really hard as to get better concentration. "Try it again Yadiry," said the very excited Yelitza. "THE FOOODA IS A GOODA," is what came out of that little mouth. Yelitza and I laughed so hard we cried. It was a cute moment, and that is why it made it on Gold Mine Tee.
