The slide is what's most important in Belleville. The slide is huge. It's probably 20 meters long (65 feet). Now, I went down the slide 5 or 6 times, and on the last time I went down the slide, I wasn't very happy. It turns out that I unfortunately slid through something greenish yellow and brown. It got all over my clothes. It got on my shirt, on my jacket sleeve, on my jeans, and on my FACE! At first, I thought it was mud. Then, I thought it was dog poo. My heart sank. So I went to my Mama to show her, in hopes that it was not dog poo. And when I talked to her, guess what? It wasn't dog poop.
It was worse.
It was pigeon diarrhea.
My heart sank down and fell out my ribs. So I had an exhausting walk to the Metro, which was far away, to go back to my apartment to take a shower. It felt refreshing, but also felt a bit gross.

French word of the day:
embarrassé: To feel embarrassed. I felt embarrassé when I walked to the Metro with bird poo on my hand.
Little known French fact :
The ground floor number is known as zero instead of the first floor.
Game Time!!!

Hi Julien,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your day at the park. Since I've never been to France, I get to explore it through your writings. Sorry about the bird poo, but I sure enjoyed reading about that slide.
Have a good trip. I look forward to learning more about France through your eyes.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful comment! Your comment really makes me feel good.
DeleteThe mushroom is on the short wall. I love all your pictures! Your last one looks like something from "Alice in Wonderland" or something magical. Very cool! I like how you always include something interesting, and you make me laugh:)
ReplyDeleteKnow what is funny? At school, during recess, I found bird scat on my hand...ugh!!! Speaking of school, there is FOUR IN A HALF DAYS LEFT. STAAR test results came. I'm certain that you, Julien, got wonderful grades. Anyway, where the heck is Hayden's comments? Have you seen any????
