Ch.2 My names a flower?...Great
I've always wondered what my name stands for so I asked my mom and she told me that she was doing something and to go ask my father. So I did. He told me "Pristine is a type of rose and its kind of been a thing in Katniss… I mean your mom's family to be named after plants and its been a thing in my family to name us after bread that's why your middle name is Rye."
I'm named after a flower. Great, that will earn me HUGE street cred' and to make it better my middle name is a type of bread! Well dad says Kathleen is a type of rose to, so at least I'm not the only one. What I don't get is her middle name is rose, why are my parents obsessed with roses? I wouldn't be surprised if the had another kid and named it primrose! That one has rose in the name!
I wonder why my mom's family is named after plants it's not like they were gardeners or farmers they were medics and coal miners! And supposedly my mom had a sister but they never talk about her. My dad said she was a brave little girl and my mom cared deeply about her and it was still a sore subject for her to discus. At least my dad's family with the bread makes a little sense I mean they are bakers.
When I have kids I'm going to give them manly names (well just the boys I'll let my wife chose the girls), not some flower or bread name that will cause them embarrassment. I'll give them names like Bob or Jimmy or Steve, ya those are manly names those are some of the most awesome names I have ever heard from this super old country (I'm talkin' millions of years here) called "The United States of America." It sounded like a pretty cool place to live you know intill they got into this huge war with all these other countries and they like ended up changing the earths surface or shape or whatever into what it is now, but I'd say Human beings have really developed since then. Well after what happened with the Hunger Games and all. It's been pretty smooth sailing since then. It's weird how my mom can have such a big affect on the whole country.
