As I have mentioned before, Janet comes from a large family of 10 children. Now that they all know me pretty well they each have their own names for me. Some call me “Kuya,” which means Uncle. Some skip the translation and just call me “Uncle” directly. And some call me “Daddy” or “Daddy Dave.”

Janet’s nomenclature is a bit more consistent. Everyone in the family either calls her “Mommy” or “Yaya”. Now “Yaya” should not be confused with the “Yaya” that means a child’s caregiver. It’s pretty common in the Philippines for parents to have a “Yaya” to care for the kid(s). But Janet’s “Yaya” is a term of respect. Now apparently they are pronounced differently. Janet and her siblings have tried to show me how “Yaya” sounds different from “Yaya” but honestly I can’t hear the difference.

But here’s where it all gets even stickier. I asked Janet the other day why all the various nicknames. She explained that “Mommy” and “Daddy” usually mean that the person is rich, which is why some of the kids call us that. “Momma” and “Papa” mean that the person is sort of ordinary and the traditional “Nanay” and “Tatay” mean – you ain’t getting much from them.

This confused me more. “Lots of people call your parents Mommy and Daddy and they’re certainly not rich.” Janet ran through what each kid seems to call the parents. I heard no rhyme or reason and Janet admitted that there was little consistency but still insisted that I’m “Daddy Dave” since I’m rich.

Correction!: “Kuya” means Big Brother, not uncle. That certainly makes it all less confusing 🙂
