Since it's my birthday month I feel the urge to jump on the #tbt bandwagon and show you what I once looked like. I'm told this is the earliest picture of me still in existence, taken a couple of days after I was born, because the film from the first photo shoot taken just after I sprung from my mommy's loins didn't make the development process, presumably because once it captured me it was so horrified at what it had done it killed itself or something. Anyway, in this picture I'm holding a red thing called a phone receiver that was used for chatting with other people. I'm not sure why, but posing your #newborn this way was de rigueur for all #Latino children back in the day. #1974 #me #beforeitwascool #birthdayedition #growingupcuban (at Miami, Florida)
