How Tía Lola Came to (Visit) Stay (2001)
“They hug and laugh and tell him all about their exciting trip past yellow-ocher hay bales, cadmium-red barns, raw-umber cows, and the Hudson River, When the excitement dies down, their father looks around, “Where did Tía Lola go?”
“Where did Tía Lola go?” Juanita repeats, as if she were Tía Lola having her English lesson.
“Yes, where did Tía Lola go? She was standing right here with us,” And there is her suitcase, but no Tía Lola! Their father looks worried. If their mother finds out, she will ...say it is just like their father to lose their aunt in New York City, Maybe she won’t let Miguel and Juanita come back for a second visit.
“Tía Lola!” they shout, but the din of the crowd drowns out their voices.
“Let’s not get upset,” their father says, his voice rising, sounding very upset. “She’s got my address, right?”
“I’m not sure,” Miguel replies, reaching into his pocket and pulling out the slip of paper on which his mother has written down their father’s address and phone number.MoreLess
