Welcome back!
Here we are, back in Paris, and the city is all a-buzz with "la rentree." What is it exactly? August is such a huge vacation month that they actually have a word that is used to mean returning back to normal life after a huge season of vacations. So I see all sorts of correspondence such as :
- "oh gosh...just getting used to la rentree"
- "I'm booked all September with activites for la rentree"
- "Hope everyone is having a good rentree"
And I'm not making it up. The quotes are not exact but you get the just of it right? So we too are getting used to "la rentree," which to me means holding Michael at 4:00am when he's trying to go to sleep due to jet lag. Vive La Rentree! :)
Today, I was walking back from the park and I saw a mother with her 2 girls walking down the same sidewalk in front of me. One of her girls was fussing something awful and I saw her mother do the following:
- Put her daughter on the sandy part of the walk near the trees
- Pulled her daughter's panties down
- Held her daughter in a position so she could urinate on the side of the road in front of everyone to see.
Her daughter was about 9-10 years old I am guessing. And I wasn't walking down a back alley or anything. This was right next to the park.
DOES ANYONE ELSE FIND THIS DISTURBING? OR IS IT JUST ME?
Bienvenue a Paris.
Love,
P
