You know that feeling when everything comes together? That moment when something clicks. The overwhelming surprise when an epiphany comes out of nowhere. Ok, I had one this week.
When I think about it, it's pretty silly actually. I was at the park with the kids and we were playing on the jungle gym. Nicky was on the monkey bars and yelled, "Tira mi su!" At first I thought, why is he talking about desserts? A second later I understood...
Tira = pull [command form from the infinitive verb Tirare]
Mi = me
Su = up
In common English, "Tiramisu" can be translated to "Pull me up" or "Pick me up." It all makes sense! A coffee flavored dessert, when you need a pick-me-up. :) Yum!
