What? Mother Dirt?

While in Antigua, Guatemala, I was riding a bus and overheard two American students discussing where they should eat dinner. The bus passed a restaurant called "Madre Tierra."

One student read the sign out loud and said, "Mother Dirt! Ugh! Who would want to eat there?"

I held my tongue, since his companion immediately corrected him and said, "It's not Mother Dirt! It's Mother Earth."

Big difference!
