What's in a Name?

Funny how people's names change over time.

Before they get married, it's 'dear', 'darling' and 'sayang'.

After they get married, all the sweet terms are dropped.

After they have children, they become 'Mummy' or 'Daddy'.

When the children are gone and they are all alone again, it's 'Old Man' or 'Old Woman'.... or worse still, 'lou ye' (loosely translated, old thing)

How strange.... how very strange!
