It’s not always easy sharing a room or being in a house full of loud cousins, but Papi reminds the girls that it’s only por un ratito — just for a little while. In the meantime, there is always someone to play with, the mealtimes are filled with music and laughter, bedtime is for snuggling in tight. Maribel realizes that maybe being there por un ratito isn’t so bad after all.
