Hawaii's Favorite Character

New Mexico: Hey, Lani! Papa told me you're a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda like me.

Hawaii: Really?! Who's your favorite character?

New Mexico: Personally, I love Skyward Sword's version of Zelda since she's so cute. How about you? Who's your favorite character?

Hawaii: Mmmm...I guess it's a toss up between Link from Ocarina of Time and Link from Breath of the Wild because on one hand you have Ocarina of Time's Link being traumatized at young age unable to do anything against a great evil and when he was finally able to do something, he was traumatized even more and nothing he did meant anything in the time he came from and then he was forced to go into the past where he faced even more dangers with himself being the only one who knows the truth about what's happening while everyone else is blissfully unaware and even when he dies he still regrets his life and tries to ensure the future of his kingdom all the while being forced to wander the Earth until then. Meanwhile, Breath of the Wild's Link awakens from being practically dead after 100 years to find all of his friends dead, everything he ever knew gone, and himself amnesiac, only knowing that he has to do something about the great evil in the land before all is lost. So yeah, you can say I identify with them.

New Mexico: *wide-eyed and scared* PAPA!

Babies Talk

Hawaii: Daddy, can I ask you a question?

America: Of course, hibiscus. Anything?

Hawaii: Where do babies come from?

Hawaii: Yeah, Nevada mentioned something about beds and being naked to Utah is how babies are made.

America: [DAMNIT NEVADA!] W-well...um...A-a stork brings the baby in an egg to the mother's stomach when she and the father lie in bed together and the egg grows until it becomes a baby.

Hawaii: How can a stork carry an egg to a mother and put it-

America: No. NO! that's how it happens!

Meanwhile in Canada.

Newfoundland: Hey dad, where do babies come from?

Canada: Well, it starts with the woman's egg which is then fertilized by a man's semen...

Alaska: Right. Now what do you need?

Hawaii: Do you know what day it is?

Alaska: Saturday?

Hawaii: No...Well, yes but other than Saturday.

Hawaii: Oh yes. Today is my BIRTHDAY! As such, I asked daddy to bring you over to Hawaii to celebrate.

Alaska: And that included having me stuffed into a sack?

Hawaii: Like I said Covid. *grabs his arm* So come on we have not a moment to lose!

DC Teaches Hawaii Politics

DC: Hawaii, Dad sent me to teach you about politics.

Hawaii: Oh cool!

DC: First lesson is how to blame someone else for your failings when you inevitably make a terrific mistake that has consequential effects on your state.

Hawaii: That's terrible! Why not just accept your failings and do better to take care of your people.

DC: *laughs* *laughs harder* *laughs until Hawaii thinks he's going to laugh up a lung* Oh you're serious. Lani, if you ever want to be taken seriously in politics that sense of morality is the first thing that's gotta go. Politics is about breaking and throwing out the competition and publicly destroying them in the process.

Hawaii:...I can see why Daddy never made you a state.

DC: HEY!
