homework time at the LaoPiams

My family is going well. I think there's a chance they wanted an american so my "Dad" would have someone to do his English homework for him. Last night he came over to the house I live in, just across the yard, and was sitting around drinking and smoking and chatting as I ate and talked on the phone to the states. Then I got out my homework and he proceeded to ask me to do his. I tried to tell him I had my own work to do, so he said, ok, after, ok tomorrow. I said I will help him, but not do it for him. I tried to help, but he just wanted me to write the answers. He kept saying he didn't understand English. (which I know isn't totally true). It went on and on. I even told him I have a big exam to study for and if I don't pass I'll get sent back to the states. He didn't seem to care. It will be interesting to see what happens today. I don't want t have to bury myself in my work to avoid doing his work.

The kicker is... he's a school principle!!!
