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 ?

Story time
DC in DC: A Fairy Tale about Hippos, Crocodiles, Lions, Magic, Tigger and Winnie the Pooh, told by a little French girl.
Me: That video of the story is amazing. She just comes up with it all herself. Her mom took some lines from that story and put them together with some of Capucine's artwork, and they made t-shirts, which they sell; the proceeds went to build a library in Mongolia. Naturally.
DC in DC: That's so funny, because I was going to do that, but it turns out that instead I just ordered some Chinese takeout and watched a DVD.
