Hola Chulas y Chulos! It’s time for another edition of The Flying Chancla Report. Today my chancla and I want to keep it light because things have gotten so heavy, qué no? So we decided to mine a favorite topic: growing up Mexican.

I mean not to be stereotypical or anything, but if three or more of the following signs apply to you, you most likely grew up Mexican.
