A rant
We were in the bus, and at some point we passed by some big street work.
Capucine : What's this, Mom ?
Me : I don't know...Maybe they are renovating the pavement, or maybe this is for the new parking lot.
Capucine, frowning : No no no, you don't build a parking lot with those tiny little stones, I'm telling you. What's this all about ? Building parkings ? Building houses ? Pavements ? What else ? There's not enough noise in this city already ?! Oh, no no no, this doesn't make any sense. A parking ? With little stones ?
Me : Hahaha. I don't know, maybe it's just the pavement, I really don't know.
Capucine : Well, I'm telling you, all this big work is good for NO-THING.
Me : Hahahah. Well, maybe you should complain to the mayor.
Capucine, forefinger raised : Yes! I will ! I will COM-PLAIN to the MAYOR !
(pause)
Capucine : What is a mayor, Mom ?

A trip
Capucine : Mom, will you let me come with you to Paris when you go pick up Aliocha ?
Me : Oh, this would be too tiring for you, honey. I'm just going there and I'll come back the same day...
Capucine, hugging me : Oh please, please, please ! I will be very quiet !
Me : It's a long train ride, you know...
Capucine : But I would like to share this trip with you. We would watch the scenery outside the window together and we would hug. It would be so beautiful.
