Lao Names #Heesearch

Noy and Nisa conduct #heesearch (hee-related research) on Lao nicknames. They start by calling Noy’s mom (who is from Pakse) and annoy her with their over-analytical questions about Laoness and gender. * “Hum ni, man pen, man normal” * “You heard that? Hum is normal” * “No, bor normal pan dai…” Intro/Outro music: Ling L-zone X Ma Lai X Lae Laostha [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZZST6_RWHw] "She says, one of my friends tells her five year old daughter that her genitals are full of wonder and power.
