      Hier in huis heten de mensen gewoon Piet, Kees, Nel en Ans en geen Storm, Vlinder, Felicity of Zwaard van de Islam. Wij zijn allemaal geboren ver voor de tijd dat ouders in de naamgeving van hun kinderen willen laten zien hoe origineel en modern ze wel niet zijn. Met alle gevaren van dien. Heb je je dochter Vlinder genoemd en dan blijkt ze zich te ontpoppen tot een slome papperige vetzak. Die kan dan toch maar beter Ans heten.
      Here in this house, people are just simply called Piet, Kees, Nel and Ans, and not Storm, Butterfly, Felicity, or Sword of Islam. We are all born long before the time that parents want to show with how they name their children how original and modern they are. With all the dangers that entails. You'd named your daughter Butterfly, and then she turns out to be sluggish, mushy fatty. Then they'd just better been named Ans.
