Utz (pronounced OOTZ)

A little chilean fellow came up to me while I waited for my flight out of atlanta to santiago.

At two years, he spoke more spanish than I do. He liked my Wild Things stuffed animal, small and attached to my pack. He looked at it as if about to critique some high-end art, and said "UTZ! Hola UTZ!"

I immediately pulled out my span-eng dictionary to look up UTZ and it wasn't in there. I thought maybe it meant monster or ogre.

When I looked up from the dictionary he was holding his stuffed animal, a mickey mouse, and smiled widely, "MICKAY" as if to say not only can I dominate you in spanish but your wimpy little stuffed animal ain't got nothing on Mickey!
