No big deal mama. Don’t stress. You said nothing wrong. Don’t lose sleep over this. People will be angry even if you smile,hug them and dash them money. They’re some who will always find something negative to say.
Our names are heavy and sometimes funny. That’s the beauty of it. And why can’t we joke about it amongst ourselves. You said what everyone has been thinking or say privately. Ps. Thank God my surname is Tawiah.
