Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.

It's tonight!  Oh sh*t.  I didn't know that.

Hmmm, time to head over to my mom's this weekend so that I can get some moon cakes...mmmm....yummy.

Btw, those mooncakes are damn expensive.  A little piece is like $7.00.

Yes! Mooncakes! Happy Moon Festival! Also Navrarti (Hindu) and Sukkot (Jewish) this week too. A good time for eating all over the world.
