So I’m sitting at a sorta fancy dinner table with a bunch of other people. One Indian lady says to me:

“You know I was told, Hawaiian people say those who have a mole close to their mouth are royalty?”

I look at her cluelessly because I know she doesn’t know I’m from Hawaii. I’ve never seen this person before. So happens my daughta knows her sista but I digress. Her and I both have large mole - dat sounds like a Rodent - ok, a large beauty spot close to our mouth.

I look at her and say; “I was born, raised in Hawaii and nobody has ever told me that one, I’ve never heard that. I was told it means I’m talkative.”

She looks at her sister who is sitting next to her and asks “Am I talkative?”

Da sista made funny face and looks at us and says “Yes she’s a chatty katty.”

It threw me off because it made me wonder. Where did she hear that from? Plus I don’t remember seeing any pictures of Hawaiian Royalty with a “beauty spot” by their mouth. Unless maybe was da guys had’um and most of’um had mustache, no can see if get or wot? I just went online search for pictures of Hawaiian Royalty and from da ones I saw, no had.

So my niele-ness remains, where did she hear dat from? Some haole made it up huh? LOL

I asked my niece in Kona, try go ask some kupunas around you if dey eva heard of dat. She said, “I going call you NT Royalty!” Lolo. Yeah, so y’all bow down. Nah nah nah no need bow, juss make me plate! LOL
