Well that was some way to finish one hell of a day =w= ~
It was a very full day today overall. I even forgot to tell you that Barbara came here sooner to vent a bit about some stuff (which I obviously won't develop here, it's just to say that we kinda felt happy to see that she would trust us in this kind of things ;w; we're right here with you, sweetheart! Be strong!)
ANYWAY back to what happened a while back...
After dinner, Flavia had a sudden desire of eating a palmier. A friggin' palmier. You ALL know what a palmier is, right? Good. Everyone should know what it is.
So we went outside (at these absurd hours, hoping - god knows how - to find some place open which would sell palmiers) and walked down the commercial street behind our building.
No palmiers to be seen. What would you expect after 10PM anyway...?
So we saw a general shop open. They were kinda arguing whether it would sell palmiers?
"Maybe they do..?" "No, most likely they don't" "What if..." "Nah, unlikely"
So I sort of dashed inside the store and asked out loud if they sold palmiers or knew a place open at this hour where they would sell them.
... 5 seconds of utter silence. Which were then broken by these two idiots' massive laugher outside the building who even ran away to another street. And these dudes insides... After asking me where I am from (because of my accent), well they had no idea what a palmier is, so I figured they wouldn't be selling these and went away to the encounter of my two roommates further in the streets laughing like two maniacs. T_____T
BUT I MEAN, HOW DO YOU MANAGE A FOOD STORE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT A PALMIER IS.
The worst is when they came behind me talking to me in French (told them I was French...). I was dumbfound.
I MEAN,
NOT ONLY YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A PALMIER IS.
AND YOU TELL ME YOU'RE FRENCH.
PALMIERS ARE COMMON FRENCH PASTRY.
HOW DO YOU EVEN EXIST.
... So I spent several minutes trying to explain them what a damn palmier was. While Flavia and Barbara were still soundly laughing behind me. But no results. I gave up and we finally went away.
WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT TWO FOOD STORE FRENCH OWNERS WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT A PALMIER IS, THIS ISN'T FUNNY, THIS IS FRUSTRATING T_T
After a while I finally managed to find a place where they'd sell them so at the end of the night we were all happy.
Barbara had the best laugh of her time ever since she arrived in the capital.
Flavia got her dear palmier.
And I... Well I got a story which I'll probably hear about again in my wedding's speeches or something. Because these two were visibly laughing WAY too much over all of it (god knows why... I must have missed the whole point, rofl) to forget it just like that.
Kidding. :3
I got two amazing little human beings as friends. TRAUMATISING little human beings, but very dear and amazing. <3
NOW I'm dashing downstairs to get that chocolate cake ready for them! See you ~
