The Meaning of Tia

Tia came to visit Carmen this week. She is Carmen's sister from Mexico. Although I don't know much Spanish and she knows very little English, I adore her and so do my girls. She visits a couple of times a year, and will stay for 2-4 weeks at a time.

I was asking the girls if Carmen's sister came to visit and they said yes. Then one of the girls corrected me and said, "Her name is Tia". I said, Yes, I know. Tia means Aunt in Spanish. Kaytlynn replied..."She's called Tia, cuz she makes good tortillas."

My side hurt from laughing so hard.

One of the few spanish words I know is Tia! I love "real" meaning of her nick name!
