My son's favorite foreign word to this day (he was 11-14) when we lived there, is German for "exit." Ausfarht. He used to say...(and I hope this doesn't offend anyone - sorry in advance) "I farht, you farht, we ausfarht." Still cracks me up and he is 24 yrs old. LOL <BR/>Love ur stories!

I had a very silly thing happen to me in a cafe in Paris. I was having lunch with a friend and needed to go to the ladies room...Well you had to pay to use the bathroom....I didn't have any change with me, and the ladies room seemed to be a football field away from my table. There was someone in the bathroom....so I thought I'd be pretty sharp, and as soon as the person opened the door to leave (mind you at this point I'm nearly dancing from...well you know).... I sashayed on in, parked myself where I needed to....And the lights went out!! I had no idea where the TP was...so I was groping around in the dark...and frankly it became a little terrifying...Think Stephen King making horror out of the most mundane things. I wondered if the door would be locked so I wouldn't be able to leave.. Is this how the french find the criminals who don't pay for the potty? Well I worked myself up into quite a little dither. Finally found paper *Amen* and the door did open! Hooray, Freedom!! I'd never been so happy to get back to a table in my life! Lol!! Yep..those little things we take for granted *winks* Vannalvroftiqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817625061049340265noreply@blogger.com
