Ratoncito Pérez

The problem with folkoric characters sometimes is that it's not clear when one adaptation is what this submission is talking about or if it's just the generalized concept of an intelligent rat that takes your teeth and leaves you a coin. Of the many different adaptations of the character, this seems to be the one that makes the most sense to have a furbait ruling. He's got strong enough features and actual clothing to depict an anthropomorphic animal. He's got a good blend of human and rat features. I mean add some human-like hair on his head and you have Jerma. Anyway. Ratoncito is furbait. Godspeed you tooth fairy

RATONCITO PEREZ 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭‼️

[girl4pay]

my dad always tells this story of how he had a remote control to the garage and he would have me and my sister say open sesame and secretly open the garage door w the button so we thought we did it and he says we were more upset about that being fake than finding out santa claus or reyes magos weren’t real which idk if thats true bcus i don’t remember and one thing my dad will do is tweak a story for the punchline however the point being i think bcus we grew up having saint nicholas and reyes magos and then occasionally ‘santa claus’ gifts from people outside the family and as far as i remember my parents never really like attempted at all w the easter bunny. and then we had ratoncito perez while everyone had the tooth fairy. both of us were already kind of like hm whats up w that

[caracolcondiarrea]

Spain should have more representation in the media

And no, Spanish culture isn’t only Flamenco, bulls, paella and tortilla de patatas

Spanish has the 3rd best food in the world

Spain has traditions that most Americans WILL find offensive but are OLDER than the USA (semana santa)

not all Spanish culture is Andalusia, yes, it’s extremely rich in culture but the rest of Spain has also A LOT of culture. For instance, in Toledo (Castilla La Mancha) had for a long time 3 religions living together peacefully. Just Toledo has so much culture thanks to the 3 religions.

Not everything here is flamenco and bulls, in fact a lot of people are against bullfighting (I don’t have a really strong opinion on this bc they will be killed no matter what so we can eat them)

In Spain we don’t speak only one language, depending on where you are, the people speak Spanish and another language ex: in País vasco they speak Spanish and Euskera, which is older than the arrival of the Roman civilization

And some fun facts about Spain which I will be putting here whenever I think of one

In Almeria there is a rumor that Walt Disney himself was from here. There has been tons of books written about it and if you ask someone from Almeria they will probably tell you “that guy is from here”

The only desert in Europe is here in Spain, specifically in Almeria, Andalusia (there is another one but it doesn’t have the required things to be officially called a dessert

The first expedition that went around the world was Spanish

This should probably go unsaid but the American continent was discovered thanks to Spain bc Colombus wanted to go to India but needed the money and no king wanted to spend they’re money on him, but the catholic queen gave him the money and the rest is history (literally)

the Spanish anthem has no lyrics, but if you ask someone young they’ll probably sing you “Franco, Franco que tiene el culo blanco por que su mujer se lo Lava con Ariel” translation: “Franco, Franc that has the butt white bc his wife washes it with Ariel” (yes this is a real thing that probably Every Spanish person after the dictatorship has sang or at least heard once in their life)

there is a song called “aquí no hay playa” translation: “there is no beach here” that it’s about how our capital thinks they are the best in everything, that they are the capital of the world but when summer comes around, my, my, there is no beach here” and it’s the best thing to tell to someone from Madrid (but if you ask my mother who unfortunately is from Madrid she will tell you “Madrid has a beach called San Juan and it’s in Alicante”)

the oldest restaurant in the world is in Spain

You’ve probably heard about the tooth fairy, but here, we have the “ratoncito perez” which is the same as the tooth fairy except he’s a mouse.

there is a church called “la sagrada Familia” and it’s famous bc it isn’t finished yet, it started construction in 1882 and it isn’t finished bc Gaudi didn’t wrote or said how he wanted the cathedral to be, he had it in his head all. It’s said to be finished in 2026

Spain is such a wonderful country and It should have more representation

Day of La Rioja

Day  of La Rioja is a public holiday in La Rioja, Spain, and is celebrated  on June 9 every year. It marks the anniversary of when the autonomous  community of La Rioja’s statute was approved in 1982. This beautiful  picturesque region is known for its lip-smacking red wine and boasts of  over 500 wineries. We firmly believe that there is no such thing as too  many wineries but 500 sounds like a good number. The day is celebrated  with full vigor in the region by organizing various events including  exhibitions of works produced by local artists, traditional and modern  music concerts, sports events, and, of course, cooking up some great  dishes and washing them down with the world-famous La Rioja wine.

History of Day of La Rioja

The  history of La Rioja is marked by territorial disputes and invasions.  The territory of La Rioja was inhabited by the tribes of the Berones,  Autrigones, and the Vascones during Roman times, while in Medieval  times, it was often a disputed territory. After a Muslim Invasion in  711, La Rioja fell into the Muslim domains of Al Andalus. This was  followed by more disputes and invasions, which were then followed by —  you guessed it — even more disputes and invasions.

The territory  was divided between the provinces of Burgos and Soria as recently as the  19th century. Even France had its say. Napoleonic forces took over the  region during the Peninsular War, keeping it with the French till 1814.

Historically,  La Rioja formed part of different provinces in the area but became its  own province in 1833. It was called the Province of Logroño. The  province was renamed La Rioja in 1980, although Logroño is still the  capital city.

Today, this community forms the least populated  region of Spain with over 300,000 inhabitants. It also has its own flag  with the colors red, white, green, and yellow. The residents of this  region take a lot of pride in their land. Other events like the Vendimia  Riojana are also celebrated in the region. It is held during the third  week of September in Logroño to celebrate the grape harvest with  festivities, including a parade of carts and bullfights.

¡¡¡ LEANLO ESTA CHIDO!!! ❤️

🐭 Ratón Perez ….. el cuento📚

Había una vez, una familia de ratones que vivía dentro de un agujero en un edificio muy grande.

Un buen dia, el ratoncito empezó a visitar el consultorio del dentista día tras día. Poco a poco empezó a aprender cada una de las cosas que el dentista hacía para curar los dientes; aprendió sobre anestesias para aliviar dolores, sobre encías inflamadas, y hasta sobre extracciones.

Poco tiempo después el ratoncito se había hecho tan conocido entre los ratones que no solo atendía los dientes de sus familiares sino que también venían de otros lugares lejanos para atenderse con el ratoncito.

Poco tiempo después, visitó un anciano ratón al joven ratoncito.

Ya no puedo comer nada, ratón Pérez – dijo el anciano– Mis dientes se han caído – terminó de decir con tristeza.

Fue, en ese preciso momento, que el ratoncito Pérez comprendió que, si podía conseguir los dientes que los humanos desechaban, quizás estos le servirían para implantarlos en los ratones ancianos y así ellos podrían volver a comer. Pero cuando estaba pensando esto, se dio cuenta que el tamaño de los dientes de los humanos eran muy grandes para los ratones.

En ese instante el ratoncito comprendió que si él lograba conseguir los dientes de leche de los niños, entonces podría ayudar a los ratones ancianos a comer de nuevo.

Cuando el ratón llegó finalmente al cuarto del niño, buscó por todas partes el diente de leche, pero el niño se había dormido mirando su diente al que guardó debajo de su almohada.

Como el ratoncito sabía que no podría llevarse algo que no le pertenecía, decidió comprarle su diente al niño y, cuidadosamente sacó el diente de debajo de la almohada, dejando en su lugar algo de dinero.

Por la mañana, al despertar el niño, notó que su diente ya no estaba pero sí había dinero en su lugar.

El niño llegó a la escuela y les contó todos los niños lo que había sucedido con su diente…

Y así nace la gran historia del ratón Pérez! Hoy cuentasela a tus hijos! ✨

Grey's Anatomy 1x08

¿Recuerdas cuando eras pequeña y creías en las cuentos de hadas? Fantaseabas sobre cómo sería tu vida, con un vestido blanco y tu príncipe azul llevándote a su castillo sobre las colinas.

Por la noche, te echabas en la cama, cerrabas los ojos y te abandonabas a tu fe. Santaclaus, el ratoncito perez, el príncipe azul estaban tan cerca que los saboreabas.

Pero vas creciendo y un día abres los ojos y los cuentos de hadas han volado. La mayoría de la gente acude a aquellos en quienes confían.

La cuestión es, que es difícil dejar que los cuentos de hadas desaparezcan. A casi todo el mundo le queda una mínima esperanza de que un día abrirá los ojos y verá que se han hecho realidad.

First full day in Madrid adventures -

First full day Madrid- Our first full day in Madrid was a fun one. Becca and Matt did a quick run in marque Oeste and happened upon the temple of Debod, which is an Egyptian temple moved from Egypt when the Aswan high dam was built. Then we headed out on a walk to explore. Becca had read the night before that the “tooth fairy” in Spain is a must called “el ratoncito Perez” and that there was a kids museum dedicated to him in Madrid, we found the museum, but decided not to wait as it appeared we might need an appointment, there were still some cool displays about the ratoncito outside to hopefully coax Henry’s tooth out (and Buggy starting to get another loose one too). We then went to check out the Plaza Mayor which has hosted all sorts of Spanish historical events including heretics being burned at the stake during the Spanish Inquisition. We saw no burnings, just a pep rally for what Matt thinks was a mayoral candidate. We then checked out a fancy candy store we had been seeing all over and the kids and Becca loaded up some goodie bags (Matt and Nali Man just planned to pick some from everyone’s bags). We also saw the Puerta Del Sol and the famous statue of the bear with the strawberry tree that is the logo for Madrid. After this we split up and Becca took the kids to Parque Retiro and Matt/Chris went to the Puerta de Atocha train station in Madrid to book train tickets for the rest of our time in Spain as our train passes don’t allow you to book in Spain until you arrive in Spain. It ended up being a “take a number and wait" situation but after about 3ish hours we successfully obtained tickets for the rest of the trip and reunited with Becca and the kiddos at the Parque. After that it was off to the Mercado San Miguel where we hoped to pick up supplies to make dinner in. Turns out it is just a very hipster foodie market with all sorts of stalls selling ready to eat food (which we sampled a bit of). However, there were no real groceries, so we hit up a traditional supermarket on the way home and nail man whipped up some tasty pasta and chorizo for us to enjoy on the outdoor patio before calling it a night.

Some  of the world’s most famous painters including Pablo Picasso, Salvador  Dali, Goya, El Greco, and Velázquez all came from Spain. There is nothing better than appreciating a good work of art.

It  does not matter if you are into food, wine, beaches, history, art, or  architecture — Spain has it all. Spain is such a popular country that in  2018 the country had more visitors than the number of people who live  there!
