Dear Hillary,
More good fun in your letters again this week (issue 38). I was going to take your advice as given to Lenny namely that us non Thai speakers should carry the burden of language difficulties. I told my GF that I was going to spend my days learning Thai. She on the other hand can give up her English classes that she enjoys so much and work out how to earn some serious housekeeping money. She opted for life as normal and against change.
On a more serious note as we all know a girl brought up in a cosmopolitan environment will pick up a language much faster but do we really want a GF with such sophistication! What do you think Hillary?

Dear Grafter,
What an interesting letter! You are worried that by changing the status quo your GF might get sophisticated! You should be proud of anyone like that. And just as I told Lenny that he should go and learn the language of this country, why would you stop your GF learning yours. You could help each other out. Don’t be mean, let her continue with her lessons which “she enjoys so much” and get off your derriere and line up for Thai lessons.
