I am a white dude with Mexican in-laws. It took me a while to adapt to the concept of Mexican time. For years, we would show up to events at the time on the invitation and would be the only guests there for hours. By the time we were ready to leave, most other guests would just be arriving. We finally got used to it and most recently went to a birthday party for an 8 year old that said it was starting at 2:00PM. We got there around 6:00 and it was perfect timing.
With that being said, I still can't hang with the Mexican ending times. They'll keep a little kid's birthday party in full on rager mode until like 3 in the morning.
As someone with Mexican neighbors, that last part is way too fucking true.
I know it's your third kid's fifth birthday, but could you maybe stop blasting your outdoor speakers at top volume? Because it's 2 a.m. and it's a Tuesday.
Lol that just reminded of a party we went to for a 3 year old's presentation to the church. The music was the loudest thing I've ever heard. The party was in a vacant spot in a stop mall. We walked in the door and could feel the music vibrating our bones. I had my kids with me so we didn't stick around for too long. But apparently they turned it UP throughout the night. The cops got called twice and my brother ended up with permanent hearing damage.
Trying to decide if this party takes place in the Valley or IE. Same story here but the wife turns in to a pumpkin at 11pm so I never have a hard time leaving lol
It's that mid-day nap. They have a nap and are ready to keep the party going.
America needs a siesta amendment to the constitution.
I would support this. As long as we keep the 9-5 business hours. I'll be damned if I'm gonna siesta and work till 7pm!
Best I can do is a 4 day work week with 12-2 siesta and minimum wage pegged to inflation with a 1934 base. Scheduled hours you will have to collective bargain. I'll throw in a calendar with 13 months of 28 days and no daylight savings for your trouble.
