You Know You Live In Mexico When....

You're buying groceries at the local market and an 11 year old boy steps in front of you to buy 2 cigarettes (not an entire pack) and the lady behind the counter gives them to him like it was a pack of bubble gum.

You see a family of four riding on a moped, without helmets.

You arrange to meet someone in the parking lot of a grocery store to rent a suburban for cash over email.  Half now for the first month and the rest due when you return the rig - date TBD.

The 19 year old babysitter who watches your kids while you surf every morning allows them to eat Snickers, Doritos, cakes and crackers for the duration of your absence, on your bed, even though you've given explicit instruction otherwise.

You have found the most dangerous jungle gym in all of North America steps away from your new home and it is fast becoming one of your kids favorite play areas.

 

Note:  No photos for this one due to Google Mexico's extreem spottyness in retrieving email....
