Parathas, aloo gobi, and shadow puppetry were on the menu today, and apparently caused Monkey-B to fall asleep while reading.
First, A Little Shadow Puppetry 👌
Sometimes you have your phone/camera handy when an amazing shot presents itself. In this case I caught Monkey-B stumbling upon the convenience of using her headlamp for shadow puppetry and/or gang sign practice.
The Long Paratha Wait 🫓
One of our favorite family dishes is aloo gobi, but the ladies don't like to eat it with rice. I secretly agree, but making 15-20 puris/rotis/parathas for the whole family takes a considerably longer time than just cooking up some rice. Most of the time I end up making some kind of bread for maximum deliciousness, but it also usually prevents me from having time to whip up a post before bed.
TKO By Technical Bookout 🥊
I miss the days of being able to fall asleep in the blink of an eye, but for me those days are long behind me. Monkey-B is easily champion in this household, able to fall asleep while still holding her book upright. She is crazy about the Tom Gates book series, and I've seen her read one from cover to cover in one sitting.
Back To School 🛺
In the morning I went to pay the electric bill and pick up the @kidsisters from school. While waiting and bored, I snapped a pic of the shop directly across the street from the schools' main entrance, a sign that Thmor Da is hardly a big town. You can only get the basics here, but when the international crossing with Thailand opens later this year, it will completely change the local economy.
Monkey-B usually wears gym clothes underneath her school uniform, and the first thing she does when she gets in the tuk-tuk is to get out of her school clothes, made easy by just removing her outer layer of clothing.
Resisting The Culture 🚯
When we got home I headed towards the outhouse to pee, and on the way I saw some snack wrappers littering the ground outside the window of my daughters' room. When I inquired about the litter, they immediately told me their friends had thrown trash out the window yesterday. I was a bit upset that they didn't correct their friends' behavior and/or pick up the trash. The careless Cambodian attitude towards the environment and nature is not a part of this culture I want them to take on.
