Our life is small in many ways - it mostly consists of getting food and learning Bangla. We live in a rented apartment with a minimum of furniture, have no car and no bicycle. Our days are simple and - at least until the kids get home - fairly quiet after walking home from class & the bazaar. Each day also contains little pleasures - one of our chief ones is making coffee. You can get very good coffee in Dhaka now.
I almost fell off my chair laughing when Jack grabbed his mug, and, in a monotone said, "Boy, I...sure...love....coffee...."
Tonight, the kids were, well, being kids. It was a bit noisy.
Exasperated, I said, "Pipe down! It's dinner time, I need you to be quiet for a bit. Act like grown-ups: be boring!"
