My mother is a funny woman
While discussing doing an éxposé on the desserts in Grenoble:
Sugar -- as if you didn't already know
PMS and the wonders of chocolate
Ginger with chocolate -- decadence or brilliance?
Beyond raspberries
To eat, or not to eat. Why is that even a question?
In a conversation on the topic of French boyfriends (out of the 11 EAP girls in Grenoble, 4 have found French boyfriends. At least 4 already have boyfriends back in the states):
Her: Four out of the eleven? Good heavens!!!!!!! Sounds like the French boys were waiting to pounce! Are the four boys friends, by any chance?
Me: Nope, none of them know each other
Her: That's what they'd like you to believe... Is it actually a giant competition/conspiracy/?? ?
Me: It must be. A message went out to the French boys: "Bulletin. Bulletin. Unattached American girls, twelve o'clock. Be on the lookout- you'll be able to snag one."
Her: Oh yes. "Remember, for some completely inexplicable reason, they think French guys are really sexy -- on your mark, get set, ... It's Pierre by a nose. Etienne is coming up on the outside. It's Pierre, it's Pierre, Etienne is gaining ground... No, it's Jean-Luc, with a surprise come-from-behind take-down!!!!!!!!!"
