Your DH is as white as they come; Wonder Bread is jealous. But having grown up in Central America and moved to the US for college, you knew that you wanted to share your culture with your kids. Thank GOD DH agreed to settle on those names; otherwise, you'd have little Emilee and Kaylinn running around. Barf.

Bianca came first. She's a feisty little girl and is 2 years older than Gabriella. She loves to play sports, hates anything that isn't mac and cheese, and generally took after her daddy. She can make grown men cry with her knowledge of football, and if they DARE get a player's stats wrong, she'll smack them over the head with her Barbie doll.

Gabriella is the shyer one. This prompts Bianca to ask "Mommy, what's wrong with her?" This all reverses when Gabriella sits with her tias and drops some bomb chisme about what the girls at Saturday language and culture school were up to. She loves going back to visit your relatives abroad and her Spanish is superb, which makes Biance jealous.

You all live in N. Arlington, but may move because of high school overcrowding. You don't know where, though. DH cooks and works for a government contractor; you're a SAHM who left a high-powered, nonprofit legal career to be with her girls. You hope to get back into the groove when they both are in ES.

It was 1976. You have a clear memory of wearing a blue bikini with red rick rack trim standing next to you mom while she mixed a pitcher of Tom Collinses in the kitchen and sang along to Captain and Tennille. Your mom handed you the pitcher and said "take this to your father, and for God's sake don't drop it," then she leaned against the kitchen counter and lit a cigarette from her pack of Virginia Slims. Your dad was sitting by the pool sulking (and smoking) because he'd just been fighting with your older brothers Andy and Alex. Dad was pissed (or angry, dad would be pissed if you used the word pissed) because Andy and Alex wouldn't cut their hair and were in a garage band. Dad had just told them that if they wanted to look like hippies they could get out of his house. You handed dad the pitcher and dove into the pool swimming underwater all the way from one end to the other. You went upstairs and listened to your new Bellamy Brothers album (quietly). That was the last day that the 5 of you were every together in that house. Your parents stayed together for another 10 years.

Your brothers moved to California. One had some minor success as a musician and spent years touring, the other got into tech when it was taking off-now he has serious money and tells everyone who will listen that getting kicked out and not going to college was the best thing that every happened to him. You stayed out of trouble, studied hard, and went to College Park and then law school. You never wanted to end up like your mom, dependent on a man who treated you like dirt. You wonder if maybe watching your parents' relationship is part of the reason you are divorced? But you're happy-supporting yourself fine, dating a nice guy, and divorce is always hard for kids but your two girls seem well-adjusted. Your older girl just organized the walkout at her school and you're really proud of her. It's strange to even thing about that little girl that you once were.

Wow. This is awesome. You should be a screenwriter or novelist...or both.

Are you third gen? Was the "reading" spot on?

I'm first gen (bilingual) and my kids' names are nowhere close to Italian.
