So you most likely know the kids’ song “Head, Shoulders,
Knees and Toes”
, well while I was at church, I learned “Head, Shoulders, Butt,
Earwax”. Yep, you read it right. Butt….Earwax

I was so surprised, and to top it all off, it was
taught/sung all while having a meal together.

Needless to say it was a day full of laughter and smiles.

Who says church is suppose to be boring?!? Here, every
church is a new experience and full of new adventures around every corner.

This Sunday, They were me the parts of the body in Thai (and
I taught them some in English as well)

 

Random thought of the day: What I love about the Thai
language is how they put smaller words together to make another word. Like “Water + Smells Good=Perfume”  or “Water
+ Fruit= Fruit juice
”  or “Car+ Room+Study=School Bus

So what ‘combo’ of words makes ‘earwax’? poop+ear= earwax  the same applies for the eye goop you get in
the mornings poop+eye=eye goop

Test out your word solving skills below. Can you correctly
match the meaning to these ‘Thai words’?
