'No, te la montan, is referring to when the other girls pick on my daughter at school.' I thought she was going to private school.' I am a little confused about your daughter being ridden around like livestock while at school. ![]() 'Ok, I understand the mommy part now, that's clear. 'When I say Mommy, I am referring to my daughter, not my actual mother.'Īnother strange occasion involving my girlfriend's daughter arose when she showed me a text message she sent to her daughter, 'Mommy, don't let the other girls ride you in school.' (Mommy, no dejes que te la montan en la escuela). #1) I didn't realize your 53-year old mother was still in school and #2) Isn't it a little strange to lecture your own 53-year old mother on how she should be spending her money?

You thank the clerk for such a warm welcome and try to explain to her that really you aren't anyone important.
