Y__ X__ 53/365

“What does your name mean?” I asked,
Expecting to hear something like Graceful Flower or Clever Warrior.
But you said it means something like,
“Maybe the next one will be a boy.”
Shit, really? What the fuck?

This reminds me of Leah, the wife that Jacob has to accept so he can get Rachel. In the Bible, yeah? She keeps giving her children names that mean things like "Surely my husband won't despise me anymore now that I've given him another son!" Never works, though.

Man, that's gotta suck.

"Hi, I'm Jonah."

"Good to meet ya, Jonah. I'm Surely my husband won't despise me anymore now that I've given him another son. So, what do you do?"
