When a child is playing on top of something the mamacita advice "you are going to fall and if you fall on top of it I am going to spank you", "te vas a caer y sobre la caída te voy a poner unos chingadazos" ( unos chingadazos = unos fregadazos, unos guamazos, unas nalgadas, una friega) and the cherry of this cake could be "when your dad is at home I am going to tell" (cuando venga tu padre le voy a decir) Yes, certanly we are mexicans! si iñor!

nice memoir Francisco
