When I was 6 years old, a moment of my life was completely horrible. My mother and her workers were cleaning around the house. They were mostly mopping, vacuuming, and wiping off the dust off any old furniture” My mother told me “Veté a dejar la Tortuga en la tuba.” (Go and put the turtle in the tub) I heard something completely different than what she told me.
