Marching Band Practice
So as per usual on Monday afternoon I went to cooking class, this week we made a dessert with pumpkin and coconut milk – delish! Then while we were cleaning up I heard marching band drums being played in the pavilion. I asked Earm if I could go watch to which we replied, of course! She asks me if I know how to baton twirl and I laugh and say no I do not but I can learn hahaha … so I walk over to the pavilion where my all my favorite 5th and 6th grade boys were being instructed by Ajan Sumet. They were all playing these shiny new drums and I was very content sitting and listening. I think Ajan Sumet was concerned I wanted to go home and that’s why I was there but I assured him that I just came over to watch. I’m watching for a few minutes and some 5th grade girls start convening outside the pavilion, some with giant silver batons with decorative tassels and string on them. Then Earm shows up. Then SOMEHOW I am in a baton marching and twirling lesson and everyone is cracking up and we are legit marching around the pavilion with batons to drums. You can’t make this shit up! Hahaha I later found out that they are practice for Sport Week which starts on Monday and that the drums were bought this year … maybe because of my arrival … who knows!
I also showed pictures of my family in class today since we are learning family vocab and I obviously pointed out that my father is tall, my mother is short, my brother and sister are tall and Kerry is short. While cooking Earm and I were talking about my family and she told me that I was “recessive” because I am short and that my father, brother, and sister are “dominant”. Hahahaha She also told me that her and Ajan Sumet thing everyone and everything in America is big and/or tall but Kerry is small … same same thai people. She said, “so I think Kerry a doll, took a ta (baby doll in Thai) because you small.” So for the first time since being in NongHee I was told I am small as opposed to being told I’m gonna be fat because I think everything is delicious! Hahahhaa what a great day!
