Terzo Proves Charles DeGaulle Right: A Birthday Scene From the Grocery Store

Me:  "Terzo, because it's your birthday, you can pick out a SPECIAL CHEESE."

Terzo:  "Ooh!  Ooh!  I'm getting Pik & Croq!"

[Pik & Croq is the only nasty cheese I've seen since moving here.  Basically, it's Cheez-Whiz, packaged with a couple of stale mini-bread sticks.  In other words, it's the French version of Handi-Snacks. ]

Me:  "Uhhhhhhh... don't you usually like something like Camembert or Caprice des Dieux?"

Terzo:  "Oh, I saw it in a COMMERCIAL."

[The only kid who ended up liking it was Quarta, who licked the cheese off the bread sticks and then tried to give me the soggy remains of her processed-cheese-delivery-devices.  Thanks, little girl!]

H/T Charles De Gaulle ("How can anyone govern a nation that has 246 kinds of cheese?")
