sixième jour

Today was a quiet day, and by quiet I mean that I watched three movies and went to bed by eight. The day didn't start so quiet though, I accidently woke everyone up around five. I was tiptoeing to the living room, and passed the bathroom when someone came out. Thinking no one was up, I decided to let everyone know of the intruder in the house by letting out a piercing scream and crumpling to the ground. Fortunatly it was not an intruder, it was Laurence, and a great way for me to get everyone up to eat breki with me!

I really need to work on not having such a loud reaction to being startled.

Another unfortunate reaction to being scared is to yell profanity. I would have preferred it here where they don't understand than in other incidents though..Such as in front of a group of kindergarten aged kids and their parents..

Watching movies in french, to my surprise, is fairly easy. I usually get the just of it and some of the jokes. Most of them are hollywood films in french . It is harder if it is a french movie with french humour. Harder for me to understand and harder for me to judge if it is approrpiate for Emma. I started watching a movie with Emma, and about five minutes later I was ready to shut it off. Full frontal fat man nudity , is not something I would like to see , nevermind see with a ten year old.

Then to my horror L arrives from work and sits down. I think I tried to sink into the couch. She comes up during the male waxing scene. Just my luck. To my surprise she laughs, and grabs a pillow to be more comfortable. We watched the whole movie together, every fake boob,butt shaking moment of it. And thus, I don't understand french humour, nor do I think I want to.

here is a trailer to the lovely movie.. for your viewing pleasure!
