How would you explain ‘make a kite from his pants‘ this sentence?
The Painter’s wife was there today buying buckets of food, getting ready for a fiesta at her house from the looks of it. But without servant! The little woman looked like a burro under all her baskets. Two bananas fell on the street behind her as she walked. Down at the end of the market, men were unloading a wagon of green-tamale corn in the husk, stacking the ears in tall pyramids. The woman pointed through her bundles, making a man fill a big sack for her.
La Perla said, “Stop staring, boy. Just because it’s your birthday, you don’t get any girl you want. Your eyes will roll in the street behind her like those bananas.”
“How is she going to carry that corn? She’ll collapse for sure.”
“So, go talk to her. Tell her for ten pesos you’ll carry it. She’ll pay you, she’s rich. Go on, go.” La Perla pushed with her little hands like knives. Crossing the street was like walking through water.
Señora Rivera. Would you like some help carrying something?She set down her two baskets, picked up the great bulging sack, and handed it over with a thump. “Go ahead. Anybody has the right to make a kite from his pants.”
How would you explain the last sentence: Anybody has the right to make a kite from his pants?
Thanks!
