La historia en un pispás

If you think the story is boring, it's because you never asked your grandmother to tell it to you, but don't worry: that's what mine is for!. My grandmother will tell you that Homo antecessor was a great match, that Cleopatra used marketing techniques to stay on the throne, that Queen Juana I of Castile was playing crazy? and that flowers, especially Portuguese ones, have more power than bullets. "With a few vignettes and a glass of anise, I'll tell you everything in a flash," says my grandmother. And meanwhile, like someone who doesn't want the thing, she makes you some hash croquettes or knits a pearl sweater for her neighbor's poodle.
