Family Names

Timmy: "Mom, how many family names are there in the world?" 

Me: "Wah... I don't know how many, Tim. A lot for sure."

Tim: "A lot ya Mom. But that's not right Mom. How can there be a lot of family names if God only created Adam and Eve in the first place?" 

Well....I'm speechless. Don't know how to answer this boy....again. Hehe.

• Pm Sung Tim is very clever to ask such questions.

  Andri Riau In the olden days, last names were not needed. There was only one Adam, one Eve, one Jacob, one Sarah, etc haha. I think that's the best that I can come up with.

  Magdalena Gracia Helen Mulyadi Andri Riau: Thank you for the ideas.  I've shown your answer to Tim. Hahaha.
  
  Then he said: "Hm....creating them?" 
  
  It's true ya, people create their family names. Our parents did. hahahaha. You and I are cousins from father's side, but we have different family names. Hahaha.

  Andri Riau Ci Helen, I guess you are right on people creating their family names haha. During our time, we couldn't inherit our family name from our parents! So they had to come up with something.
