maybefitz Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Does anyone else do the "Pinch and a Punch, it's the first of the month" routine? I introduced it to my Thai wife some time ago, and she fully participates. As I am in my dotage, she usually beats me to it, full of glee and peals of laughter. Today, I was awake at 1.15am, so took the initiative, switched on the light,. She groggily said "Eh?", so I did the honours. Was it worth it to beat her for once? Doubtful, the response was heavy, her slap and kick were full of malicious invective. It's in keeping with the idea that Thais will smile and join in Sanook, but you know darned well, that given the opportunity, they will get revenge. It's part of the 'loss of face' culture.

malt25 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 As kids we did the pinch & punch bit. But if anyone tried it on me at 1:00 am, even Mrs Malt, I wouldn't be at all impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraday Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Yes we did when I was a nipper. However, if I did it first to my eldest & slightly spiteful sister, she would retaliate with: 'A pinch & a kick, for being so quick' Cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respond with "A pinch and a blow for being so slow" Yes to the OP I used to when I remembered but have pretty much given up on it due to lack of interest from the recipients..........

Mum & Dad used to say: "White Rabbits, Bring Me Luck" 3 times on the first. I would so love to hear them say this again....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
