Aunty Maylani

"Grandpa, who are these funny people?"
"Oh, that's your mom."
"No, you Filipino knucklehead, these other two."
"Oh that's Uncle Tucker and Aunty Maylani."
"Grandpa, what kine of name is Maylani?"
"Well, my little mochi ball,, it's kind of like a
Hawaiian name, but not really. There's a lot of
Hawaiian names that end in 'lani'. Like Leilani and
Hualani and Noelani and Mahulani. The reason is
when you put 'lani' at the end of a name, it means
'heavenly'. Like Leilani is 'heavenly lei'. And Noelani
is 'heavenly mist'. Mahulani of course means
'heavenly mahu'."
"So Grandpa, what is Maylani?"
"What choo tink? Heavenly month of May."
"Oh..............................................Um..........okay."
"Good thing she wasn't born in February."
