noticia bomba | 2002-10-06 - 8:43 p.m. Concha's 17-year-old cousin, Teresita, dropped a noticia bomba on Concha today while we were cruising the career clothing section at Sears. "Look at those ugly ass maternity clothes," Concha was grimacing, pointing at a rack of baggy stone-washed denim overalls on the other side of the aisle. "You might as well wear a cowbell around your neck for nine months and live in a barn." "Oh, it's more like four months, Concha," Teresa corrected. "You don't start showing until you're five months along." De repente, as if under hypnosis, she crossed the aisle. As Concha y yo watched in puzzlement, she began inspecting the maternity overalls up close, fingering the stone-washed fabric reverently. "These overalls aren't so bad ..." she murmured. Concha y yo traded looks. "And this," she said, caressing a sack-like item made of shiny pink polyester, "would look just adorable with the right accessories, don't you think?" Concha followed Teresita over to the maternity section. "Teresa honey," she said softly, taking her cousin by the mano, "why the sudden interest in maternity tents?" Teresa didn't answer. "Hija," Concha continued, glancing nervously at me, "is there something you'd like to tell us?" Teresa smiled beatificamente, like the Sant�sima Virgen Herself. "I am with child," she giggled, beaming.
