When I Was Young And Wild And More Mexican

People used to ask my children if they were adopted after seeing me. People used to ask me if my children were adopted after seeing them.

My children asked me "How did you have two American kids like us?" Excuse me, Chico! I was born in San Francisco.

When I was young and wild and more Mexican I had natural black hair and dark skin. I also held cigarettes in my hand posing for photos even with my children.

When I was young and wild and more Mexican I was married to a cowboy. This photo is taken at what used to be "our cattle ranch", 2000 acres of it. (I hated it there.)

When I was young and wild and more Mexican, I drank tequila straight from the bottle. When I drank tequila, my temper would get very bad but I didn't care.

When I was young and wild and more Mexican, I divorced the cowboy and hooked up with another man, but not in that order.

I sometimes miss the days when I was young and wild and more Mexican.
