Spanish Word – En Serio?

From time to time, as we learn some Spanish, we’ll try to help you learn some as well.

“En serio?” This is a question loosely translated in the lingo of a US high schooler, “seriously?” Other translations might be “really?” or “are you serious?” We hear it a lot when we tell Tico’s here about our strange customs in the US (most recently, hiding plastics eggs in the park, “en serio?”)

How does this relate to the picture? Well the other day it was drizzling when we went to the park with Lucy, so we put on her jacket and her hood. When we got to the park it stopped raining, but she screamed when we tried to take off her hood. She wore it all the way home in the bright sun, and then wore it all over the house during her snack, causing us to look at her and laugh: en serio?
