My sewing teacher is struggling to remember my name. And the other day, when once again she called my name and looked around the classroom, she said: It's because you don't look like a Karen!
Now, what does a Karen look like? In Germany it's not a very common name at all. The spelling with an i - Karin is more common but probably not for my generation either.
I've never liked my name and consequently don't like being called by my name either. And I think that's one of the reasons that I hardly ever call other people by their names either. The other day, I noticed though that this has led to me not even remembering other people's names. Like that of the sewing teacher... (or anyone else in the sewing class)
