So we go over to Gianni's paternal grandparents house tonight. They only speak Spanish (they're Cuban). But anyway, I received a text the other day from my mother in law saying "give my boy a kiss from AGUELA". And I'm thinking what's AGUELA?!?! Lol. But tonight I realized they mean ABUELA! They say AGUELA but they mean ABUELA... now any Spanish I know I have learned from school and I am in no way fluent or anything. Hell I mainly read and write. But has anyone else heard of this? I don't want to sound rude but I don't think AGUELA is a real thing? and I want my son to learn proper Spanish. Not made up words. Please correct me if I'm wrong... she also cannot spell at all. Agua is Hagua, salsa is sasa and so on.

Even Gianni's dad has no idea what aguela is. He says she must just be stupid... if it's a real thing, fine. But I just know she's really illiterate. She received no education in Cuba
