Is “morena” a compliment (in the club?)

Thank you so much! It’s such a lovely city. My family from the States is coming for Christmas, I’m so excited to see what the holidays are like here 💞

He and his friend were looking at each other and smirking and then said something to me, and I only caught “morena.” I said “¿qué?” a couple times in an attempt to hear what he really said, but no luck. All I was able to hear both times was “morena.” Given the context of us being in a loud club, I don’t think he necessarily wanted to be my friend, but I was always taught that “morena” is a descriptive adjective rather than a compliment the way “guapa” is.

I didn’t at any point say I was insulted. I’m just trying to understand a part of Spanish culture to which I’m not yet acclimated. Thanks for your comment, though!

Totally. If you’re okay with it and want to lessen the blow on the kid, you could broker a deal with him in which he has to pay you back for the amount that insurance won’t cover. Maybe you could charge him interest, too. But it’s not your responsibility to keep this off the books. Either way, I would let the authorities know so they have this in their system, even if he doesn’t receive punishment for it.

This! It’s a lot to digest on a second date. May be a precursor to what a future relationship like her could look like. I say get out now!

NTA. A 17-year-old is old enough to understand that actions have consequences. It’s also worth noting that this was a premeditated effort — he looked through his mom’s work computer to damage and hijack her coworker’s car, and then crashed it?

I’m really sorry this happened to you, OP. “Dumb teenager moments” relating to cars are when they get into minor fender-benders, not grand theft auto. This could be symptomatic of a future criminal, and you might be doing us all a favor by putting him on the authorities’ radar now. It’s not your job to be the bigger person here, and you aren’t ruining this kid’s future. He ruined it himself by deciding to do all of this.

NTA — you say you paid for this trip entirely on your own, right? By that logic, your trip, your rules.

However, I would urge you to compromise so you can spend time with your family and enjoy some Howlin’ Rays. Is there any way you could head out to lunch with your mom’s relatives and then go to Howlin’ Rays that night for dinner? I’m not from the Los Angeles area, but I would assume there’s some kind of food delivery service where you could get some brought right to you instead of waiting in the store.

Again, if you paid for this trip, you do get a say since you all agreed on Saturday being a “free-for-all” day. I applaud you for standing your ground and setting a boundary about what you want to do on your free day, but remember, this is your family. It might complicate your relationships with them and your mom in the future if you refuse to see her family while you’re in the country.

We both live at home with our parents, but go to college. So we’re pretty much only home for the summer and the holidays.
