Like other Khmer families, my family usually have a gathering with our children and grandchildren. I have 17 grandchildren, and every time we meet, it makes me feel dizzy because my grandsons always play with each other. But we are still happy and want more grandsons, so that we can form a strong Hun football team. There is an old saying that goes Koun muoy tao, chao muoy thaing (many children, and even more grandchildren), and it is right. They play in their grandparents bedroom, dragging pillows and blanket, but we do not say anything to upset or scare them. Perhaps the majority of grandfathers of Khmer families are just like me. I wish all Khmer families happiness.

3 Engagement What Pages Are Most Popular? Average Monthly Engagement Rate (Page Type) The total number of people who liked a page, or in other words fans, is a good place to look to start trying to understand the popularity of a page. But measuring a page s popularity by the number of fans alone is often misleading because having fans doesn t mean that they are engaging with the page - in fact a fan that doesn t engage may not be a fan at all.
