So, for those of you who don't know, the word "pinche" is a Spanish expletive. And here's the story of how we came to call it ours....
My son was in Kindergarten. We had just moved to New Mexico and were all having a hard time adjusting to everything. His first real project was a family tree project. He was to pick a tree that is like our family and draw it on one side of his poster. On the other side, he was to make our family tree and prepare a little speech to tell the class about his family. Trying to be a good mommy, I told him we should practice his speech so he wouldn't be embarrassed or nervous. And so he began...
"My name is Andrew T. I live with my sister and my mommy at my grandparents house."
Then he PROUDLY (and loudly) announces....
"....and WE ARE A PINCHE FAMILY!!"
Trying to stifle my laughter and a little shock, I asked him what he meant. He turned his paper around and showed us his PEACH tree. My mom and I had to calmly explain his error. I didn't want him to get upset. He was sooo proud of his speech.
Needless to say, he did very well on his report, and we now have a new family motto. :)
