what I inherited
Some days I wish I could be just like my mother. Other days I'm happy that I remember not to pronounce the "h" in herbs.

I'm Mona. I'm a 25-year-old full-time working mom of a boy named Nathan (born 2006), wife of a man named Mike and a resident of Seattle. I am originally from a small island called Saipan and I try to stay out of the rain, mostly.
"Kirida" is a Chamorro word bestowed on females, mostly the youngest or the favorite. I am the youngest of five children so you can figure out who the "kirida" was.

But what if your name is "Herb?" Then do you pronounce the "H?"
Yes you pronounce the "h," unless you want to be called Erb.
My friend's father's name is Herb. I have no problem calling him Uncle Herb. But outside of that, I often have to stop and think, "you cook with herbs (erbs), but it's uncle Herb."
Yeah. Like the old 70's band Peaches and Erbs. (heh.)
