Mommy month

Tuesday is the Queen's birthday, which is Mother's Day in Thailand, so we are enjoying a lazy four-day weekend at the country house. Well, it's not quite as lazy as I'd like; this morning Poo made me do some gardening. I had to make her a cup of coffee, too.

You see, it used to be that on Mother's Day, I would be really nice to Poo and do whatever she asks. Stealthily, she stretched that into the long weekend, and then it became "Mother's Week." Now, somehow, she has transformed it into "Mommy month" and I must do whatever she says for the entire month of August.

It's OK, the King's birthday is in December: Daddy Month.
