Rien

Last night's battle over school and homework was brought to you by Cane Sugar.

Why? Because one of my favorite lines of the discussion was, "No, I am NOT lying. I may sugarcoat the truth a little though. You ask me if I have homework, and I say no, but I might have CLASSwork. See?"

Quoi de neuf?

What's new?

Rien.

Nothing.

I've been helping Owen with his French. And rien is the perfect word because that is what I know about teenage boys. Rien. Nothing. Not a goddamned thing.

I will try to remember how sweet they were after a bath, with a milkshake from Grandma Alice's blender, watching a fine Sponge Bob.

ahhh....this one is particularly appropriate.....
