My very first blog entry ever was about my love-hate relationship with my name. After months of being away from my on-line life, I find myself at the beginning. At lunch today:
Mona: “Meat Trio on French bread please.”
Sandwich Lady: “Your name, Ma’m?”
Mona: ”Mona. [Pronounced 'mow-na']“
Sandwich Lady: ”Spelled M-O-A-N-A?”
Mona: ”No.”
“Ok. I got it. Silent A.”
Eh. Shrug. As long as they get my sandwich right.
