A Name

I am in Saudi right now, visiting family, and just relaxing...quite nice...the weather is hot, and humid perfect for vegging...and the pool is being cleaned-so I will swim bokra...bas the real nice thing is getting in touch with my family here...hearing their news, being asked to participate in their lives in one way or another.
Currently, one of my cousins-who is also an only child-is going through her teen angst, and as the only other only child in the family, everyone has decided that I should be her private counselor, they ask me why she does stuff, why she says stuff, and how I used to be. My aunt-her mom-seems to believe that I am being a bad influence on her since she is acting exactly like I did when I was her age-bas they want me to talk to her, al they don't like her friends...I mean honestly which parent ever liked the friends of their teenage kids!!!!
Bas the real news is that my cousin is pregnant...and I am so happy...since I will never be an aunt to anyone, the kids of my close cousins will become like my nieces and nephews. The best thing, is that they want to name the baby Lulwa if its a girl!! I am so honored-even though I am sure they are not going to name her that just because of me.
Bas it is also very odd...I mean I have another cousin called Lulwa-actually she is Lulu fa there is a difference...bas I have not met that many women who carry this name...and how possessive I have become of this name of mine. I don't think I would be me if I was called anything else-my baba wanted to name me Maysaloun after the famous battle-bas I just don't think I would have turned out like I am if I was not named LULWA...imagine Maysaloun's Logic...just does not have the same ring to it!!!!
