Kids are a rough crowd! I threw a party for my son Phillip last weekend in a park in Paris. The little French boys and girls were so cute…all of them talking in French with their adorable little French accents! However, there was this one little French boy, Nicolas. He was absolutely adorable, but he was a handful! If foreigners only meet him, they will continue to believe the French are rude! He yelled at me in French that he was too full. Then the little French boy stomped his feet and told me in French that the food stinks! I don’t think anybody forced him to eat half a cake! If it were not for the fact that he is seven, a friend of my son’s, and well…I am a sucker for a French accent, I might have gotten very upset! Next year his invitation might get lost in the mail…
