OK, so I know we all have a good laugh when people come up with countless variations of our last name. Lots of people think it’s strange, but I try to assure them that while it may be uncommon in the US, it really is common in Crotia like a “Smith” or “Jones” in here (this is a wild assertion that I have just made up–it could be true, but I really don’t know). Anyway, Mom just sent us an article about the Permanent Representative of Crotia to the United Nations at Geneva. Guess what her last name is: MLADINEO. Even though this really doesn’t prove that Mladineo is popular, we’re making the circuits at the UN! :)
