Selling Mama Naya’s Veggies
After drinking a cold glass of Toki orange juice, my siblings and I got to work! Eager to help Mama Naya sell her veggies, first we placed the tomatoes, sweet peppers, and cucumbers in transparent plastic bags. Then we priced each cabbage head, making sure we got everything just right. As we worked, I thought of how much I loved my grandmother. “Mama Naya es la major, verdad?
