An American Horror Tale

She could not eat any faster if she had three mouths.
I am in Paris.
Gulping petite delicacies into my dessert hole.
They might escape if I slow down.
AMERICAN! a sixty-five pound weakling says in a disgusted tone.
I give him my American sign of disapproval of his disapproval.
He gives me the same sign back in French.
We both laugh.

I can just picture this one. Don't let those 'Frogs' slow you down, Caren. Go ahead and gulp down those desserts. You paid your money, didn't you?! lol. Thanks for the chuckle, Gershon
