LOL. <BR/><BR/>When I say my first name is unusual, it REALLY is. Only one in every 117,000ish Americans have that first name and it's more rare elsewhere. And my last name? Not quite so unusual, but definitely uncommon.<BR/><BR/>Hence, the need to go by Tonggu Momma in the blogosphere.a Tonggu Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365812914466181060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-56697594351783765002009-04-02T15:52:00.000-08:002009-04-02T15:52:00.000-08:00I have a Samson, but we refer to him as Sam.
