You know are you a Latino or Latina when...

- Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner and you only live in a small apartment/house.

- You know at least one person in your family named Maria, Carlos, Juan, Jose, Tito or Luis.

- You are in a 4-passenger car with 7 people in it and a person shouting, "SUBANSE, TODAVIA CABEN!" (jajaja)

- You get people's attention by saying "chhh chhh" or "Pssssst."

- Your grandmother thinks she has the miracle cure for everything.

-You have your country's flag hanging in your car/bedroom/house...

-You're an adult and you're still forced to be with your family at 12 midnight on New Year's Eve

-Others tell you to stop screaming when you are really just talking! (oh god, this has happened to me so many times!)

- In your barrio, there are more people on the streets at 3am than 3pm

- You consider it rude when you throw a party and people show up on time... while you are still making preparations (obvio)!

- No matter what country you are in, you always greet people with a kiss on the cheek...even though they consider it an invasion of their personal space.

- You have watched many TELENOVELAS, several of them with similar concepts, but still tune in every day.

- You have dinners/reunions in your house with more people that can actually fit, and nobody comes to complain about the noise.

-You usually complain about things that are wrong with your country, but the second you leave, you look for every oportunity to tell EVERYONE how great it is!
