Phrase of the day: Attention! Le crotte de chien!

So, here I am again with my favorite phrase yet! It is best when heard by Louis, our 6 year old friend shouting out in an attempt to keep us all from making the frightful yet inevitable mistake of stepping in a pile of dog poop!!! Actually, we have yet to step in a pile or even skid past a dingleberry! I have no clue how we have managed this feat thus far but somehow we have. I think we must truly be transitioning into the French way of life already since even Henner is not mentioning the abundance of dog doo that we evade each trek to and from school each day. How is this for a stat: on our walk to Julia's piano lesson--a mere 100 meters (give or take a couple hundred or so as my metric system is not up to par) from her school we managed to evade 63 pieces/clumps/particles/and/or piles of dog poop dispersed somewhat systematically on the sidewalks/flower beds/street or wherever the powers may be have decided to let the dog's drop a deuce (that was for Jeremy)!!!!! We are feeling pretty cool at this point as we are now sidesteppin, jumpin and dodgin each terd we encounter without hesitation or without notice. We are sooooooo becoming French!

So, there you have it: ATTENTION, LE CROTTE DE CHIEN! Learn this phrase and practice it over and over for you are sure to need it when you come to visit!!!!

Hugs to all!

P.S. do you think I should learn English grammar before trying to learn another language?!!!

***I failed to mention......prolific as it is......even the dog crotte in France smells like lavendar!!!!
