Oh.
Mr. Mrs. Mrs. Maria is a garment worker in the U.S., one of not that many left.
She's originally from Puebla, Mexico.
Puebla, camotera.
Sweet potato city, she says.
nodding her head and making a little fist to herself when she says it.
Maria is only 73 years old, but she has the presence of both a much older, comforting grandma and somehow also like this easily delighted kid.
She has those little grandma sandals on and a little white flower tucked behind her ear.
Whenever Maria sees a flower, she picks it up, puts it in her hair.
It makes her happy.
A little flower in her hair.
Maria has been in the U.S.
almost 30 years, and she has done the exact same job the entire time.
She's a trimmer at a garment factory in Los Angeles.
Half of what is left of the garment manufacturing industry in the U.S.
is in Los Angeles.
And when I ask Maria what a trimmer does in a U.S.
garment factory, Maria reaches for my shirt.
She tucks her hand under the bottom of my shirt, at the hem, the back of her warm fingers, on my bare stomach, the way only a grandma can do.
That was so cute.
