They were usually 1 or 2, and they would stay for dinner.
One of those nights my younger brother brought some sort of survey from school, regarding the family and related assorted questions.
I think it's important to note that every night my father and his friends would down a couple bottles of cheap wine.
So, my father got to the task of filling the survey, with the assistance of his friends.
Eventually he got to a question where he had to fill his current occupation.
¡Malviviente!* yelled my father, and he and friends burst out in drunken laughter.
He filled the question with such answer.
He - and my mother - were promptly summoned by the school to explain that answer. Rest assured my mom was not pleased at all.
* This word can be roughly translated to thug, but taken literally can mean "One that does not live well".
