last weekend's outing
here's a glimpse of annecy, france where we went to last sunday afternoon. DH went ahead of us to serve in choir at the mass so we took the train and he picked us up at the station. i even met a french guy in the train and we spoke for the whole 15 minutes of the ride in french... NOT! :p we spoke about life here, why he's here, how we were here, family.... and then our conversation ended up him giving me his contact details so i can "refer" him to friends... he looks like a decent guy, maybe around early 40's... any one up for the challenge? just say "I". hehehe. :) anyways, the town of annecy is very charming, a 1h40m drive away from home. they have a big park, a castle and small canals that gives you the ambiance of venice sans the gondola's. the old town is full of character, and there were ice cream shops in every corner of the old town... but much to our disappointment, the ice cream didn't meet our expectations. while waiting in line for our turn, an embarrassing mommy moment transpired. here's how it went: Me: Franco you ok there? Stay close, ok? Franco: Yes, mommy. (the little boy stayed in line, as well, patiently waiting. then he suddenly approached me looking very excited...) F: Mommy, I see the biggest, biggest, biggest... PWET! M: Huh??!! F: Mommy, look (pointing to the lady in front of him, blocking his view). See, that's the biggest pwet! M: Sshhh... Franco, wag ka maingay. Don't say that, that's not nice. F: But mommy, I can't see the ice cream because the big girl is there with her big... (still pointing!) M: Stay here na lang on the table and chair ok? Just wait for me, and don't point and be quiet! F: Ok. (smiling innocently) (i was trying very hard not to laugh, but it was very funny so a little smile escaped and i had to look away) I felt a warm rush to my face, even though they were french and probably don't know what pwet mean... but the finger pointing to that direction and if they heard "the biggest, biggest" would most likely give them THE clue. kids say the darndest things, indeed! whew! :D Labels: kids say the darndest things, over the border, photos, the boys, trips, weekend |
