"I FORGOT OUR SON'S LUCKY PACIFIER IN MY BRIEFCASE!" Sean screamed on the phone in the crowded station to his wife.
"Oh no! How could you! You know that without it he convinces himself that he cannot win a single game!" yelled Baojia. "I hope Hong doesn't notice." Baojia quickly packed her son's lunch. She kept tripping all over the place as she tried to look for her car keys. "Honey, are you ready?" she said with a big sigh. Hong came recklessly down the stairs and yelled "Mommy, I cannot find my bobo!" with tears flowing down his eyes."Now I will lose the game and we'll never be city champs and it'll be all my fault!!!"
"Could you grow up already! And stop calling it a bobo it's embarrassing; you're embarrassing!" yelled Baojia. Hong became red faced as he scurried back into his room and cried until his mother gave in, and came upstairs to give him an apology.
