They begin hitting their parents and parents tolerate this behavior. This typical American child behavior is seen all time in America. When child doesn't get what he or she wants they beat up Mom.

The local Mexicans look with horror-stricken faces and yet settle quickly into a kind of facial expression,

"Oh that's America for you."

The local Mexicans look with horror-stricken faces and yet settle quickly into a kind of facial expression,

The sweet and loving American family finally gets their act together with one another. "It had to be culture shock, or altitude," they reason. So, off they go to a restaurant.

In restaurant, father begins screaming,

"I know somebody here's got to speak that there English and I wants'em at this here table right now!"

The local Mexicans look with horror-stricken faces and yet settle quickly into a kind of facial expression,

"Oh that's America for you."
