Emily has been reading “Manon Lescaut” – in the original French, of course – and giving us regular updates on the story:

  • (looking up from book) “Wow! Manon cheated already, and I’m only on page 28!”
  • (Shakes head and returns to reading, mumbling under her breath) “There’s 200 pages in this book. She must have a lot more screwing up to do.”

My kid, the comedienne.
