Khmer Conversation #1

Host Mom:  Amanda's boyfriend is coming to visit in January. When is your boyfriend coming to visit? 

Host Sister:  Oh, right - you don't have a boyfriend! Ha! 

Host Mom:  If you ever do get married, call me. I cannot afford a plane ticket, so I will ride a water buffalo to America.

Host Sister:  It will probably take her a year to get there. 

Host Mom:  No, not that long; I'll find a flying buffalo. 

Me:  How about I find a Khmer man to marry and have my wedding here? 

Host Mom:  Oh! Happy day!
