By any other word would smell as sweet.”

Do you know that the most commonly used first name is MUHAMMED?
Do you know that the most commonly used last name is WONG?
But there is no MUHAMMED WONG.
As a typical sundanese woman, I call suamigila, AA.
Suamigila used to call me Neng. After 1 year of our marriage, he calls me Bebe (BB). Bebe means baby in French. He loves it when I act like a baby.
I start to think like this. If we have our first baby, her/his nickname will be CC.
Then our second baby, will be called DD.
But… our third baby? E…?
No… let’s pretend that she/he is not our third baby but our baby number 2A. (Will call her/him FF).
Hahaha… silly!
I’m reading (again) One Hundred Years Of Solitude.
