Mnemonic

A rain cloud is still a cloud! It's probably going to rain on you soon though, so I hope you have a jacket or an umbrella.

Hints

Picture all of the different types of clouds in the sky. There are puffy white ones, heavy dark ones, and wispy thin ones. But they're all clouds.

Mnemonic

You lie down and try to figure out what the clouds are shaped like. The first cloud is shaped... like a cool mom (くも). She's wearing high pants, and holding a kid on each hip, but she's also listening to the latest music and using slang. Huh. You look to the next cloud and see... wait, another cool mom?

Hints

You look at each cloud and each one is a different cool mom. They're each doing different cool mom things. You suddenly don't want to look at the clouds anymore.
