English camp

I was supposed to take Thun to an all-day English camp today. We arrived and I had to sit through a 45-minute presentation trying to sell me a 40-CD "Learn English" set. They kept pestering me to buy.

"It's good," I told them, "but I have many Learn English CDs at home, and he never uses them; he just plays computer games instead!"

"But this one is better!" they told me, "it has won three awards!"

Right, right. I listened until I ran out of patience. Finally I told Thun, "let's go get some lunch!" and I told the salespeople we would see them after lunch.

At lunch I said, "Thun, let's not go back to that place. Let's go somewhere else instead. Where do you want to go?"

"To the internet shop!" he responded enthusiastically, "to play games!"

And that's where we are right now.
