forenames II

𝕋his American-Indian boy goes to his mother one day with a puzzled look on his face.
"Mom," he says, "Why is my big brother named Thunderstorm?"

The mother says, "Because he was conceived during a strong storm."

The boy says, "And why is our sister named Running Deer?"

The mother replies, "Your father and I were chasing each other just before we made love and conceived her."

"And why is our other sister called Starlight?"

"Because a beautiful sun was rising while she was being conceived."

Thoughtfully, his mother pauses, then says, "Tell me... why are you asking all these questions, Torn Rubber?"
