One day after work
Me: So Shorty I told David that if we have a boy I plan to name him Maximus. He said it was a damn good idea.
Shorty: Of course la! It’s David!
Me: In fact he gave me an even better idea. He said I should name him Thor.
Shorty: Thor Tiah??? Sounds like a bad word in Hokkien.
Me: No… just Thor. And maybe with a lightning bolt symbol after his name.
Shorty: Don’t be stupid lah!

During dinner with some of Shorty’s friends.
Alison: So have you thought about what you’re going to name your baby if it’s a b0y?
Me: Yep. Maximus.
Alison: Maximus Tiah???
Me: No… just Maximus. No surname or any other name.
Alison: HAHAHA How can!
Shorty: YALAH I already told him they’re going to make fun of him in school.
Alison: Ya they’re going to call him Minimus in school.
Me: Maximus will kick their ass if they do.
Shorty: They’re just going to call him Max.
Me: And I’m going to train him to not accept people calling him Max.
Shorty: NOT MAXIMUS LAH!!!
