So in a weird way, TV really allowed me to learn things that my mom couldn't.

When I was in fourth grade, I realized I was poor because I was a really big fan of New Kids on the Block.

Loved them, right?

I couldn't afford to see them in concert, right?

So I had this fantasy when I was a kid, you know, that I was going to meet them and they were going to fall in love with me, right?

No joke, you guys.

This was the fantasy.

Fourth grade.

I was going to be the maid on their tour bus, right?

And I was going to clean things so good that they were going to fall in love with me.

Like in my head, I thought they were going to get on the tour bus and they were going to be like, oh my God, who made that bed right there?

You know what I mean?

And then I would say, I made that bed.

And they would be like, we love you now.

And I'm like, ah!

That was it.

That was in fourth grade.

Then 20 years later, I thought about that story.

I looked back, and I was thinking, why the have I made in my own fantasy?

Like, even in my fantasy, I can't give Latinos better jobs?
