American inventor

Mom wanted to invent, little household items not resolving global issues (that was for men)
Invented diligently at night, dad was asleep, drew familiar items and added to it and the drawings were nearly unrecognizable
Night was the only time to stop moving, girls pressed her for an American life that their father wouldn't permit(and she won't either at first)
Argued in English, daughters picked it up first and she got better but was still a mishmash of idioms.
"When in Rome, do unto Romans" she spoke English in America
Daughters ere made fun of at school and it hurt mom but she brushed off and blamed it on daughters.
Daughter called her mom when mad, she was a good Miami but a failed mom
When she had good idea, she told daughter. Daughter was in her room writing poems
Daughter wants a typewriter
Mom shows another crazy invention to daughter.. Can opened on car bumper daughter can't guess what it is
Daughters don't encourage mom and she always ends up throwing it away.. They. Don't like her inventions because they are trying to fit in when they stand so far out and she's trying to make American moms lives easier.. Arming enemy against daughters
Mom startles dad when she has good news, he is still afraid from the Dominican Republic
Moms idea or suitcase on wheels was patented and made a fortune, she's excited but gets over it
Mom became a worker at dads job and after suitcase she decided to take herself seriously and the inventing stopped.
Daughter becomes a good student and is chosen to read a speech to nuns at end of school year but she faces serious writers block
Daughter hated her accent and didn't like speaking in public, she didn't view the speech as an honor
She kept trying but didn't know what to write and eventually started running out of time
Mom tells her necessity was the daughter of invention (**mother)
Both parents try to help her
Walt Whitmans poem questions authority and inspires the daughter..she has never read anything like it
