Max H. was trying to explain this new song about Johnny and Melanie. I had no idea what he was talking about. Then I realised that mondegreens (misheard lyrics) are the best from kids. Max was singing:
Johnny's likes Melanie in my head...
Iyaz's hit song "Replay" contain the lyrics:
Shawty's like a melody in my head...

Max H: I have to go to the bathroom.
Me: Ok.
Max H: But not for the p-o-o word.
Me: Ok.
Max H: For the p-i word.
Me: For the pi?
Me: Ok.
Max H: But not for the p-o-o word.
Me: Ok.
Max H: For the p-i word.

Lucky New Year!
When I finished tutoring little Max H., I walked into the lobby to meet his mother. Since it was New year, she handed me a Ang Pao, which was expected. We chatted for a bit and I thanked her for her the lucky gesture.
The envelope felt a little thick, but I paid no mind because they are rich. I went to the next room to check how much money I got - it was $20. But wait, there was more!
Inside a found a note, asking me to betray my employer and do some private home tutoring - skipping the middle man. I was quite offended by the note, seeing that it brought such a level of scandal to my Ang Pao. I was afraid that all the luck would be cancelled by this sneaky situation.
What are your thoughts? How should I solve my problem?
On another note, I asked my mom about my loss of luck. She said that it is actually luckier that there's scandal attached to my Ang Pao but only because that scandal will make me more money. But my mom thinks anything with money is lucky...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy New Year everyone!
To commemorate this glorious holiday, I will share with you a New Year anecdote:
I was tutoring a Grade 2 child, which makes him 7-years-old, named Max H. He is a really great kid - he's outgoing, funny, smart, athletic, musical - pretty much the hard-ass Asian parent's dream-kid. Good thing for his hard-ass Asian mom. Who sends their second-grader to tutoring anyway? Answer is: Max's mom.
So he has a presentation to work on and his topic was Chinese New Year. Max, being the little charmer that he is, is a top quality presenter. He was very good at keeping eye contact and had a lot to say. It was better than a lot of university presentations I had seen. Max was feeling a little nervous, so we decided to practise his presentation several times. We went over it about 8124 times and he even stayed for an extra half hour. At the end of the session, I praised him for doing such a great job with his presentation. Then he offered me this little gem:
"Oh yeah! I have to do my presentation in French."
