My First Memory by Säde Kaila

I was a young, curious kindergartener
"Why is my third name Henrietta?" I asked one day.
"I would much rather be called Ruusu."
"Well I like the name Henrietta." A teacher answered.
"It's a very pretty name."
I didn't understand.
For I wanted to be named after a flower.
