The Case of the Frijolera T-Shirt
12:38 p.m. - 2004-04-09
I have this t-shirt that I made that says �Frijolera� underneath there is a translation in a smaller font stating: �[beaner].� I made this t-shirt last summer when I was home for the 4th of July. It was in response to the Molotov song �Frijolero.� When I wear it, some people laugh, others scoff, and many tell me its really cool.
So I�m sitting at my work area the other day and Carmen comes over and she�s like, �Hey Georgina?�
�Yeah,� I say.
�Remember how you told me you could make a t-shirt for me if I brought you the paper?�
�Yeah.�
�If I bring it, will you make me a �Frijolera� t-shirt? I want to give it to my Mom for Mother�s Day because she�s always eating beans.�
�Uh, okay.�
What the fuck was I thinking? She caught me off guard when she asked, and I have a hard time saying no on top of that. The more I think about it, the more it pisses me off. I don�t wear my Frijolera t-shirt because I eat beans. I wear it because it means something to me. I�m making a statement. The question now is, will I tell her that there is reasoning behind this shirt? In the meantime, I can hear Carmen�s nerdy snorty laugh as her mother unfolds the white t-shirt with black lettering that reads �Frijolera.�
