Scrubs

Not that I mind French tv, but at 11pm and on, it gets a little too difficult to concentrate and all your brain wants to do is default to homeland humor. 

So I was quite excited when I found Scrubs in English last night on my tv. AND as a bonus, they were episodes I’d never seen before! 

[Insert Profound Observation Here:]

After reading the French subtitles, I found that there is absolutely NO comparison for the fast-paced American sarcasm that fires out of Cox’s mouth on the regular.

[End]

For the first time, I pity the refinement and specificity of the French language.  The American language can be harsh and crude, but at times, this can be like throwing a speedball at your endorphins and they just go berserk.

Thank you for that tasty refreshment, can I get some more?

Oscar

Nickname: Wild Thing

BEWARE: Prone to sneak attacks, take caution

Description: Attention-seeker, precocious artist, mischievous fibber, future ladies man

Profile: This is Oscar.  He is 5 1/2. He goes to a public French school, but knows English. He also does sports, painting, and theater.

While vacationing at the beach, I had to share the kid’s bathroom.  One morning I am getting ready to take a shower and tell Oscar not to open the door. But he responds with “Mais, j’ai envie de regarder.” (accompanied with a deviant smile). Translate at your own risk. 

Could spend hours looking at himself in the mirror, styling his hair.

He is very fond of Superheroes and medieval knights.  His favorites are Zorro, Batman, and Superman. He has a life-size sword, shield, and helmet, as well as, an army of PlayMobil men to protect him from attacks. En garde!
