Yesterday 'friends' from Germany came to stay with us until Monday this week. Actually, they're half German and half Chinese Thai, meaning that they're racially half Chinese, but the Chinese have lived in Thailand for many generations.
There's a 13 year old boy who I will call Aidan. Then there's who I will call Marine, who is six years old.
Here's the thing: they speak German and Thai. I speak English and Mandarin. So we can't talk.
Guess what else? THEY DIDN'T WANT ICE CREAM LAST NIGHT!! I would go for ice cream ANYTIME!
This morning Aidan and I set up an Easter egg hunt for Marine. Actually, I didn't know that he was THAT old so I was planning for him to egg hunt too. But I guess that didn't work out. So we just went outside (Nathan was trying to steer clear of our guests *mean!*) and then after about 5 minutes Aidan started CHUNKING the eggs at the trees. I then called Marine back outside to find the eggs. I only straight pointed out about 3 of them, but for the other she didn't find right away I kind of hinted. Like if there was one by in a tree, I would look in tree branches. She found most of them except for THE MOST OBVIOUS! It was sitting on a swing. She walked right by it for about 5 times before I decided to swing on the other swing. She STILL didn't get it! I eventually had to point to it.
Then later Marine and I built the most FABULOUS fort ever. I mean, it's really good. It has 4 rooms: the storage room for the bags that she INSISTED on bringing in, the cool-off room where it was a lot cooler, the game room, where we stored her Easter eggs and the games she wanted to play, AND THEN... the lounge. It had an arched ceiling and a lever to open the door flap with.
I kept her busy for a while watching a show she liked, but now she's really bored. Bye.
