Flashback Friday: Our daughter Chasan 1986 Hartford CT. Free preview and download of ROCKER ROLLER RICAN lnkd.in/dZm8Ny5 Hey, our daughter is not only Puerto “Bella” (Beautiful) but Rican Tough too. I know this to be a fact because she takes me to court once. We have a super big fight over some stupid thing and we both go ballistic. It’s a tough time for all of us but you know what? If she’s got the cojones to do that I know she’ll stand up to any man when she needs and as her father I prefer getting raked through the coals than have her fold up. However, sometimes she overreaches and get’s busted. Like the time I find her climbing on the counter to perch herself on top of the refigerator for her favorite box of cereal. “Mommy said I could get this.” “Your mother is nowhere around.” “She told me before she left …” munch, munch, munch.” “Get down from there.” “OK, carry me …” munch munch munch She’s already reaching for what she wants in life. At the age of four or five she spends the day walking around with her eyes shut. When Carmen asks her why she’s doing this she answers without missing a beat, “Because I want to see how a blind person sees the world.” If I can only be inside her head at that precise moment to witness what she discovers by turning inwards. But I am – she’s half of me. Damn, poor kid. Interesting that when she gets tatted up she has it done on her left shoulder. My tat runs on my right. Together we’re pefectly balanced guapwericans. She tries to get a cell phone when she’s only fifteen. “Rules? What rules? Hello, yes, is this the Sprint office in Florida? Yes, my name is Chasan. I live in Connecticut. I’d like to order some service.” “O.K. How old are you” “Uh, 21.” “And your full name?” “Chasan Chaluisan.” “Chaluisan? Hold On … Hello .. my name is Denise I’m the supervisor here … did you say you’re last name is Chaluisan? “Yes” “And your name is Chasan?” “Yes” “And you live in Connecticut?” “You’re not 21. Your Titi Ana’s grandaughter. This is your cousin Nisey from New Jersey. I work down here now. What are you trying to pull? “Oh, goodbye! Hahahahahahaha ha ha …. Ohhhh hahahahahahaha ha ha” That day I think she learns how far flung our family is and how funny fate can be. However, she tempts fate a little too much. I don’t know how she drives now because I will not get in a car with her but at 17 she’s lethal behind the wheel. Chasan wipes out her first car going 65 mph in a 25 mph highway turn. (Shades of of her great-grandfather Juan Batlle who also turns his car into a guided missile.) She takes out 6 yellow safety barrels but walks away with just a bruise. Her reaction, “Hey, when can I get a new car?”
