Khmer Conversation #2

Brother-in-Law: When Christin went dancing, she told her friends that she was very cold and needed a meat blanket!

Mom: Did your friends know that word?

Me: Of course. I taught them.

Brother-in-Law: Amanda said that she has a meat blanket already, but she does not because she and her boyfriend are not married. I have a meat blanket because she is my wife.

Sister: And my husband is my meat blanket.

Me: Yes, I understand. Meat blankets before marriage here are not good, but in America, the culture is different. You can have a meat blanket before you are married.

Sister: That's because it is so cold in America. You must stay warm!
