My wife once wrote a post on her blog called, You know you married a Salvadoran when…. As you’ve probably guessed, now I’m going to have a little revenge.
You Know You Married a Gringa When…
#1. You have a peanut butter sandwich in your lunch box every day.
#2. Your pet dog is treated like a family member rather than an animal.
#3. There are 5 different kinds of sunscreen in the bathroom cabinet.
#4. You have to explain who is Topo Gigio, Chavo del 8, and Cantinflas.
#5. You see your spouse barefooted more often than not.
#6. Moving your mother into the house is A VERY BIG DEAL.
#7. You can quote the funniest lines from every episode of Seinfeld, (and actually understand the humor now.)
#8. You start to think certain behaviors are rude, which you once thought were normal – (such as not showing up on time or showing up uninvited.)
#9. Your father-in-law talks to you about baseball, American football and NASCAR, but not soccer.
#10. She laughs at you when you tell her pointing at a rainbow makes it disappear and when you put Vicks Vaporub up your nose.

This post is too funny!! Bienvenido a blogland Carlos!
Thank you, MJ. Muy amable.
Haha this made me laugh… I’m (soon to be) married to a Mexican.. which I know is not a Salvadoran but some of the same things apply.. the peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches for one.
I’m looking forward to more from your blog and I think it’s awesome you’re trying new things. I can definitely relate!
Thank you very much. I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog. Good luck with your future marriage.
Jajaja. Mi esposo estaría totalmente de acuerdo. Aunque en nuestro caso, ambos somos colombianos pero yo soy “agrignada”. Excelente entrada, me reí mucho y mi esposo también. Sigue blogueando!
Muchas gracias por tu comentario, Angela. La madrina de mi hijo menor es colombiana. La conosco desde que llegue aquí y disfruto cada vez que la visito comer arepas :)
That’s awesome! I have to go read her list now.
Being from Ecuador my mom NEVER EVER made me a peanut butter sandwich! LOL
#4 so true! I’ve had to explain to my gringo boyfriend
#& I really can’t stand Seinfeld.
great list!
I didn’t like peanut butter, (or Seinfeld!) for many years but she finally convinced me :)
This was hilarious! My husband told me just a couple of days ago that I’m feeding our son too much peanut butter! I also laughed about -not showing up on time and showing up uninvited- as being rude…. my husband has also taken on this view.
Great post!
Thanks, Tara. Our kids eat a lot of peanut butter too – but I guess I ate a lot of pupusas growing up and I’m okay ;)
Hahaha! That made me laugh out loud, which scared the dog sleeping next to me. :) Mi esposo ya me dijo “NO MORE SANDWICHES!” Y la ultra dia, escuche mi esposo hablando con su hermano, diciendo que no estabien que viene 2 horas tarde, que “ya no estamos en Mexico Cabron!” I loved this post!
Sabes qué? Ahora me gustan los peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I eat one almost every day for our “break time” at work. Lunch is usually leftovers from dinner.
Me reía mucho cuando leí, “ya no estamos en Mexico cabron” … bien chistoso.
Jajaja mi esposo es de El Salvador y yo soy gabacha. Everything you said is true!!! Hahaha!
Gringa y salvadoreño juntos bajo el mismo techo, nunca está aburrido, verdad? :)
omg roFL! jajajaj funny sooo true i had a lot of girnga friends growing up who were worse i would hope Tracy doesnt say “Quesa-dillia” i hate that u know how some gabachos say it like Napoleon Dynamite.

Tracy only says it like that to be funny :)
