�what's in a nombre? | 2002-11-11 - 9:19 p.m.


"So," Concha asked Teresita the other d�a over lonche. "Do you know what you're having?"

Teresita looked down at her menu. "The Six Dollar Hamburger sounds good. With cheese. And curly fries. Definitely curly fries. And maybe a shake."

"I mean," said Concha, "do you know whether you're having a girl or a boy?"

Teresita sighed dreamily. "The doctor says it's a girl."

I smiled, pensando en what Teresita's little girl would be like. I imagined a sweet, heart-shaped face, just like Teresita's, framed by a mass of glossy brown ringlets. Qu� tierna, I thought.

"Have you decided what you're going to name her?" I asked.

"Luz," said Teresita.

I was about to congratulate Teresita on her choice of nombres when I suddenly remembered algo importante: Teresita's apellido. Her last name.

Morales.
