Thank Heaven For Little Girls...

True story... As I was heading out to the market yesterday an older French man approached me and asked if I was a student. I told him no, but thank you for thinking I was so young. The next question was "êtes-vous américain?" (are you American?) I said that I was and with a typical gallic shrug and a smile the older man said "Well, we can't all be perfect" ("bien, nous tous ne peut être parfait ").
This morning as I was heading out for a walk, the same man was there and with a big smile he said "aujourd'hui est un grand jour pour votre pays, n'est ce pas?" (Today is a big day for your country, isn't it?). I said that, yes it is. He smiled and wished me good day.
Tomorrow I will have to find out who he is -- he must work or live in the building as he seems to always appear as I am coming or going. Ah, Paris!
Now I can't stop humming "Thank Heaven For Little Girls" by Maurice Chavalier from the film Gigi, one of my favorites!

He's a dirty old (French) man! Is he walking a small dog? If so he lives in the back of the building ( with the nuns). Bisou.Mom
