Which Reminds Me

My parents themselves told me they did not want me to marry one of those Spanish guys down there. I was to wait until returning to the U.S. to even think of deciding who to marry. So I did follow their wishes. Besides, there was no one there worth the effort of bucking my parents' wishes for me. Yes, I suppose that I could say something similar about college. It wasn't supposed to be that way, but the only guy who actually asked me out was Carlos—he took me to see Star Wars and we also went for a walk somewhere, maybe a local park, and talked for a while—but some things about him made me uncomfortable, and also my mother did not like the idea of me dating a Mexican. So I brushed him off later. Later Cori was trying to say that I should renew that relationship but I was not interested. I really did not like vicious Cori poking her nose into such a personal matter. It was really none of her business.
