I stopped and stared at him. I noticed that he had the strangest eyes - one was blue, the other brown. &quot;You have different colored eyes,&quot; I said, realizing only after how stupid I sounded. &quot;Oui. I think you call it, recessive genes?&quot; I noticed he was still holding my hand. I firmly but gently detached it. &quot;Oui. I mean yes. Listen, can you tell me where I can find the Louvre?&quot; &quot;Not the _Louvre._ That tourist trap. You can't see the paintings for the tourists!&quot; &quot;Well, I want to see the Mona Lisa,&quot; I said stubbornly. &quot;No, you must go to my favorite museum. The musée d'Orsay is wonderful, you are sure to love it. We can take a bateaux-mouche so you can see how beautiful la Seine is.&quot; &quot;Um. I don't know...&quot; &quot;Please say yes. I can practice mon Anglais.&quot; &quot;Well, I _did_ want to take a bato moosh.&quot; &quot;Non. C'est _bateaux-mouche_.&quot; I could feel the warmth spreading out from my temple to my cheeks. &quot;It's settled then,&quot; he said as he took my arm in his. &quot;You'll practice your French, I'll practice my English.&quot; 2008-07-17T19:37:28Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/24572 <p>Have you ever been to France?
