Hatyaier Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 We have some neighbors about 1 kilometer away. They are a wonderful couple, always helping us in many ways. (Teaching me how to take care of our many fruit trees, taking care of our home and dogs when we go away, and in many other ways.) They have a grand daughter about 6 months old whom they took to a fortune teller. He told them it should have a different mother. One born on a Thursday. They asked my wife but she was born on a wrong day unfortunately (or not). They did find someone though, but the spirits are apparently not all that smart, so they just need to perform some kind of ceremony to fool them and the real mother can take care of her. They have a son attending technical college in Songkhla. The other day about 12 of his friends showed up wanting to know why he didn't go to write the final exam. His father at first suspected that a ghost had entered his body, but then they found out the real reason. It seems that he bought a lottery ticket and promised whichever god is in charge of that sort of thing that he would bar-b-q a pig for his family if he won. Well he won 36,000 baht but spent all the money on gold, not buying the pig, which caused his mind to go blank. So last weekend mom bought a pig and hired someone to cook it. We were invited and It was delicious and so was the beer and the homemade booze. Of course his teacher understood completely and gave him 3 more weeks to study before writing the exam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
