Yesterday my three year old granddaughter was explaining to a visitor the difference between a Tiki shirt and a Hawaiian shirt. I did not prompt her. She explained that a Tiki shirt has a Tiki on it. If it doesn’t have a Tiki on it then it isn’t a Tiki shirt. A Hawaiian shirt can have a Tiki on it but if it doesn’t it’s just a Hawaiian shirt. She can also tell, for the most part, when a carving is from the South Pacific, real Tiki, and when the carving is Central American; Mayan, Aztec for example.
