From Triathlete and Teacher:
"Cría cuervos y te pecan los ojos."
"You raise crows and they peck out your eyes." - (Uplifting) Spanish proverb
We sit around the kitchen table, warm and toasty, full and satisfied. And deadly serious. The cribbage board is between us, a double elimination tournament is in progress, and I want to win. To eliminate my opponent. I bury my two cards in the crib and lift up my eyes, studying her through narrowed slits.
My mom is still weighing her options. I catch her eye and say what's on my mind, "Mom, I love you, but I want to beat you. I'm competitive."
Her blue eyes twinkle right back at mine, "So am I."
