Mommy's Birthday
It’s Mom’s birthday, and the whole family has something special planned! The day begins early as she cooks food to offer to the monks passing the house and receives a blessing in return. Later, Tim, Yim and Daisy help set the dinner table and surprise her with presents, each bought in their own way, before Dad arrives home with a birthday cake. Along the way, you’ll hear Thai for telling the time, talking about dates, giving gifts and saving money.
