It has been confirmed. Building forts is universal. I was browsing through a store in Sisophon, looking for some nice dress shoes for Laum and came upon this scene. I wanted to get a couple chairs and a sheet and show them how to make a really cool fort, but that may have been perceived as being strange. And I am already strange enough. The shoe saleslady's jaw dropped when she saw me trying on large men's shoes. (I wanted to make sure they felt comfortable.)
Cynthia and I presented Laum with his gift, and he was so surprised. I explained that we celebrate National Principal's Day in America, and he said this was the first time for him. He was very happy since he needed new shoes for his wedding. Plus, he can wear them to business meetings instead of his ratty slip-on shoes that he usually pulls out for special occasions.
You should have taken a picture of you trying on the shoes!!! That is so funny.
