I used to be given "atole" when I was sick, and I didn't like it. It tasted like liquid glue going down!

levanta," because I used to sing at her table when I was little.
Another saying, that I have passed on to my grandchildren, is "habia
una viejita buscando lenya, cuando encontro su lenya, corrio, corrio
para su casa." And she would be walking her fingers up my arm and
tickle me at the end of the story.
