So there is this lovely lady, let's say my second mom. She is suffering from a really funny "condition". Whenever she hears a sentence (from people, radio, TV, newspaper..anything)she HAS to count the dots used in the sentence! She HAS TO!
Sometimes, she cannot follow a conversation because she's counting, but most of the time, it's not a problem for her; she's a pro. Most words we normal people use, she already knows the number of dots for. She told me last night she is having difficulty sleeping these days because she remembers sentences and has to count the dots all over again. Now, the really funny part is that for some god unknown reason, the number of dots MUST end up being a multiple of 5!!!!!!! If they do not, she has to say a word or two in her head with appropriate number of dots to fix the issue, and the words have to make sense. It's keeping her up. Thank god she already knows to use "khob" when she needs two to go or "na" when she needs just one...
Now you tell me: My family is "colorful", or what?
