he stared at me like i was insane. (perhaps i should have explained the context *first*)
maybe it's an anglo-saxon thing.
i did learn though, thanks to this story, that he sleeps naked too ; so maybe *that* is a french thing. it would explain why we all get dressed before we go grocery shopping.  |
Well ... yes .... I generally sleep naked too. But, if I get an itch to go shopping in the middle of the night ... I'm just putting on my jammies and slippers. Unless it's really cold outside, then it's jammies, coat and boots.
It's one of those "when in Rome" sorts of things.
