Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for August 10, 2022

Good move, Baldo….

I’d say he’s serious about her if he’s not willing to gamble on that outcome.

For the best old wive’s tales, go to a spinster.

give it 50 years or so and you’ll figure it out…

Baldo’s not dumb enough to believe that, but he’s also not dumb enough to tell Tía Carmen he doesn’t believe her.

You’ll never know for sure. The best you’ll get is maybe.

Tia Carmen’s method is probably as good as any. Folksy and science, not always at odds.

If she sticks with you through your most stupid moments….

Baldo, ask Estella that question…you’ll find out?

So that is how you make Mint Tea…

The answer to his question is… time. You will know over time. Don’t try to push or pull (or pull away). NEVER try to “test”.

Dad had a good marriage. Go ask him.

I think Baldo should ask another female that question… maybe one of his grandaunt’s amigas from BINGO or somewhere.

Did she share that last empanada with you a week or so back? If she did, she’s your soul mate…..

If you don’t know, she’s not the one

…and add five tea leaves, if you don’t get a sign, you can always drink it.

The problem is you are both so young, you don’t know who you really are yet. There is no way to tell yet if you are soul mates. One good test is to spend a long time apart, which could happen after high school if one of you goes to college outside your city, or gets a job and has to relocate. If you still feel the same about each other after that, you might be soul mates.

Reminds me of Granny Clampett

Tia must be a friend of Marie Laveau.

What’s Baldo got against peppermint leaves?

How Hot should the water be? The leaves behave differently, depending on the temperature of the water.
