He picked up the picture of Maria again, scared. 113. He dropped the picture in shock. 114. A small part of him realized he was slightly older than his grandma. 115. “I don’t wanna be older than grandma,” Jason said, his words coming out in broken English. 116. His voice and accent continued to change. 117. “¡AY!” he yelped in pain, covering his mouth. 118. “Mommy! Why do I sound like Mrs. Ramirez?” he yelled in broken English. 119. “I sound so old!” he continued, his voice strange with a Mexican accent. 120. “I’m Jason! I’m Jason!” he tried to say his name but failed. 121. “I… I’m Hason?” he said incorrectly, scaring himself. 122. He tried to say Jason correctly but failed every time. 123. Tears filled his eyes. 124. He pulled at his longer hair, trying to remove the bun. 125. Jason bent down to scrape off the nail polish on his feet. 126. The flip flops got in the way. 127. His memories began to change. 128. He only remembered being Maria. 129. Maria instantly looked around, confused. 130. “¿Qué...?” she said loudly. 131. She stood up, wondering why she was messing with her pedicure. 132. “Isabella’s friend…” she remembered, trying to recall his name. 133. “Hason! Hason!” she called out in broken English. 134. “Where are you, Hason?” she asked. 135. She admired her pedicure in the flip flops. 136. Maria walked over to her purse, picking it up. 137. She pulled out her sunglasses, putting them on. 138. Maria threw her purse over her shoulder. 139. She took two slow steps in the flip flops. 140.

Adjusting her sunglasses on her nose. 145. Adjusting her purse strap. 146. Maria walked toward her mirror. 147. She stubbed her toe on the way. 148. “¡AY!” she yelled in pain. 149. Maria bent down, grabbing her foot. 150. “Stupid, Maria,” she muttered in very broken English. 151. She spotted the photo on the floor. 152. Maria clip-clopped over to the photo, picking it up. 153. She looked at the photo of herself, tears forming. 154. “¡AY!” she exclaimed, emotions overwhelming her. 155. “1985… fiesta… I was 25…” she reminisced in broken English. 156. “Kept it to remember…” She placed the picture back where it belonged. 157. Maria thought about her political beliefs. 158. “Vote Democrat every time,” she said in broken English. 159. She never changed back. 160. Maria never remembered who she used to be. 161. She decided to visit her former mom. 162. Maria drove over to the house. 163. She walked up to the door, knocking. 164. “Have you seen Jason?” asked her former mom. 165. Maria looked confused. “No, no,” she said in broken English. 166. She walked inside, sitting down. 167. The furniture creaked under her weight. 168. “I like your outfit,” her former mom complimented. 169. “And your jewelry.” 170. “Tank you,” Maria said, proud of her appearance. 171. Maria went to the fridge. 172. “Where the Mexican dishes?” she criticized. 173. “No Tequila or Corona, or Modelo?” she added. 174. Disappointed, Maria left the house. 175. She walked back to her car. 176. She intended to buy all the ingredients and alcohol. 177. Maria arrived at the store. 178. She grabbed the ingredients. 179. “Do you have Mezcal?” she asked, pronouncing it perfectly. 180. The female cashier asked for ID. 181. “¿Qué?” Maria said, adjusting her sunglasses. 182. “I need to see your ID,” the cashier repeated. 183. “¡AY!” Maria exclaimed in frustration. 184. “I was born in 1960,” she started listing: 185. “I’m 63 years old.” 186. “I’ve voted in every election since 1980.” 187. “I have grandchildren.” 188. “I was in a mariachi band in my youth.” 189. “I have photos from the 1980s fiesta.” 190. “Store policy, I must ask for ID,” the cashier defended. 191. “1. Everyone gets carded. 2. It’s for legal reasons. 3. Company rules. 4. For your safety too. 5. I could lose my job.” 192. The cashier finally caved in. 193.
