Mexican people never say they're sorry. My grandmother, when I was young, hit me with her car. I was in the driveway–pang! "You know where I park, cabron. Mira, where the oil is." Did she say she was sorry? "Ta loco, he's seven. When he starts paying the bills, then I'll say sorry."

In this bit, Lopez uses an exaggerated family anecdote to satirize a stereotype he associates with Mexican/Mexican-American family culture: a tough, unsentimental approach to apology and accountability. The humor comes from the mismatch between the seriousness of the event (a child being hit by a car) and the grandmother’s blunt, practical response—treating the child as responsible for knowing “where I park” and implying apologies are reserved for adults with economic standing (“when he starts paying the bills”). Beneath the joke is commentary on generational authority, resilience, and how affection can be expressed through teasing or toughness rather than verbal contrition.
