She always makes us laugh, but the joke is on us. “Well, everybody, right? You all have that right. How could you not? So, let’s go. Let’s carry out your ob- ligation with the toilets.” She smiles, winks, and points at the mops and buckets, which we hadn’t noticed until then. “Today, you are the team in charge of making sure they are spotless.

Or maybe you think you came to this world as a great painter? Look, the Da Vinci of graffiti. ““All right, all right, don’t argue.” Maite is trying to keep things calm. “We could listen to several ideas and then choose the one we all think is best. Let’s see. Does anybody else have any other ideas?”
