My Two Favourite Places

My home here in Canada is sometimes a little messy. My home in Mexico is almost always clean. My home here in Canada feels a little cold sometimes. My home in Mexico almost always feels warm. My home here in Canada tastes and smells like cherry muffins, sweet cakes, and birthday cupcakes that my mom makes with love. My home in Mexico tastes and smells like frijoles, rice, and empanadas that my Tita, my Tito and my prima cook together in the kitchen. My home here in Canada sounds like a noisy tv and the violin I play for an hour after school. My home in Mexico sounds like my Tito’s beautiful but loud accordion. If I could, I would give this gift to someone else.
