Hose A I just went though that in December and I can really sympathize with you . Know body would understand if they haven't been through it . I still
have 2 daughters that are under 15 and I break out in a cold sweat when I think about doing it 2 more times.
One of my friends in San Nicolas is a real joker...

When his son, who is now a married young man, turned 15 his Papa gave HIM a quincinero. He took it with amazingly good nature. He was made to ride a
burro backwards and to wear a bra. It was a big party with lots of food, laughter, and gifts. The most amazing part was that all the "Aunties" took
turns wearing an apron which, when it was lifted during the dancing around the pinata, revealed a very large, very male, very anatomically correct,
"member" of the family. We all laughed til we cried and our cheeks hurt!
