The Crow Is De-behued

CatMom has named all the friendly and lovely creatures in her environs as a name-behu.

It started with calling for her cat outdoors, and to satisfy her poetic nature, she called for Lu-behu. Occasionally, she calls Lulu-behu.

Then, there is a baby rabbit behu #1, and baby rabbit behu #2, and various other behus about her yard who come to visit.

She called her cats -behus, and she called her hubby a hubby-behu.

One day, she saw her local house crow. She called to him, greeting him as a crow-behu.

CatDad who witnessed said this, "That crow, CatMom, is not a behu. He is not permitted the affection of you, CatMom, naming him a -behu, and he is not part of the -behu family. Are we clear?"

CatMom had decided to befriend all the house creatures.

Anyway, even though CatMom loves that crow, and thinks his actions very unkind, and that he needs a time-out to teach him neighbourhood manners, CatMom agrees that today, the crow does not deserve to be called a -behu.

Sometimes, when we receive a name - that name is imbued with a family culture - and that is love.

If you bear the -behu on your name, your behavior must stand with a -behu.

It is a clan. So no, the crow is not a -behu.

That is sad. It is too bad the crow chooses to not be a -behu.
