Today is going to be amazing. I’ve never actually made flan before, but I know it will be great. Abuelita usually makes the flan. She promised to teach me today. Abuelita always flips the flan onto this plate. It is from Cuba, and she’s had it since forever before I was born.
WOBBLE. WOBBLE.
Oh no.
