I was born in Miami over fifty years ago, back when bilingual meant you could speak in a southern accent and English too. I have language issues since I was raised by two loving, caring, wonderful alcoholic parents who diligently tried to teach me to speak my first words between throwing back glasses of whiskey. I remember my first day in school the teacher sent me to the office thinking I was drunk.
