A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood

Cuentos are particularly women stories beacuse that was a time for the women to escape from the men and sit around and tell stories to the  younger generations, to inform them of all the horrible stuff that men are capable of doing and performing. The older generations went through experiences in life wear the man would leave them at the alter and in a mans eyes there was nothing wrong with it. Mama wanted the younger females to be careful. She wanted them to beware of the situations and what men can do and will do.
Men would tell cuentos the same way the would go play baseball or catch and thats where they woould talk. They just didnt sit around like the girls did. The grandmother was the main storyteller for the females and the drandfather would be the main storyteller for the men.
