10 reasons you should never take your kids to Mexico City

1. They will never stop believing the world is a magical place…

2. I warn you: Mexican children are dangerously nice and your kids will make so many new friends, they’ll keep asking you to come back to Mexico…And you’ll have to give in.

3. They will discover Frida Kahlo and will start asking you so many questions about her that you’ll have to start studying…

4. Or maybe they’ll become interested in Anthropology…

5. Food and drinks made out of fresh ingredients can become a severe addiction…

6. And they’ll never know what to eat for dessert…

7. All those skulls will scare them forever. Be ready for months of nightmares…

8. Women at the markets will spoil them with all those little nicknames: “güerita”, “rey” and “princesa.” The real world is not like that!

9. They will want you to repaint your house with vibrant, lively colors.

10. And the worst of all: they will be speaking Spanish long before you do…
