One Juan, Two Juans....

I just came home to the very welcome site of two rather large trucks in my driveway and several Mexicans on my roof. I spoke to the one nearest the ledge to let him know that if they needed anything I was home and to just knock on the door. He looked a tad confused. I am not sure what the protocol is for the gringa speaking to the roofers but apparently I just breached it. Damn my Democratic ideals - it just confuses the fuck out of everything.

*UPDATE* I think all confusion has been averted. I just walked outside to get my mail in slippers eating left over mac n cheese right out of the tupperware. I swear I overheard "Damn, she walks out the house like that??? She can't be too damn uppity." All in Spanish of course. And yes, I know the word for uppity in Spanish. It's "Paris Hilton."
