names

i was talking with tony, whose real name is lindsey about names.

how different people sometimes call you different things.

i have frequently reflected on the variety of nicknames i have been given by different individuals or groups of people. perhaps it is telling that different people call me different things. what it is telling? i'm not sure. (some of them are pronounced in spanish)

Carmen said...

cuqui is one you write to me but don't say. and the other monkey is only made in reference to me, not directed at me. although i like that one a lot....

RolandoE said...

don't I ever say cuqui ?
a shame.
I'm starting right away.

as for the other monkey, you're right.
sometimes is you, sometimes is the other monkey, or the other monkey

who calls you cooks? some of these are weird. i think i have about 3 nicknames and one of them is mama and the other one is the other other monkey. oh yes, and the other ones are "are you carmen's twin?" "mother daughter?":)

Carmen said...

dad calls me cooks

Carmen said...

yeah - i guess your name should be on that list since people frequently confuse me for you
