The girl's definitely got some skills. Quarenta para siempre has done it again! She replied the post correctly. Thanks for reading my little blog and for playing our little game. Keep on bringing that A game of yours!!!
"La Llorona" was the answer we were looking for. It's a story about a woman who drowns her children after being abandoned by her man. Those men...
Folklore says that you can hear "La Llorona" crying for her drowned children. Sometimes she's looking for live children to take, and replace her own. Some sneaky parents tell this story to their kids so that they can later say, "If you don't cut it out, "La Llorona" is going to come and get you." Manipulate, much? Sometimes it's, "You have to come inside from playing. It's getting late and "La Llorona" will be out soon." O.K... So maybe it was just my mother... Anyhow, there are many different versions of "La Llorona." I guess it all depends on what Latin American country you're from, and then what town in that particular country. According to this website, there is a movie being made (that's been made?) about "LL."
P.S. D.F. - This bud's for you: Picasso

Thanks for posting the Picasso picture. "Dora, for me, was always a weeping woman....And it's important, because women are suffering machines."[6]

Yeah, sure. There is a link at the bottom of that past about Picasso. Even though he is Spanish (and my whole little theme is about Hispanic countries)... I'll sneak it in there.
