Bonjour Madame,

Toujours you continue to insist that I am not French. But vraiment you are misinformed. Yes, I may have been discovered in Los Angeles, but I’m sure I had just arrived from France.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Probably not. You were eight weeks old, Honey, just a baby, with a dirty face and diarrhea.

Sincerely, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Comment? Always you bring up le diarrhea.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Excuse me. La merde. Better?

Sincerely, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Ha ha.   I crack up.  Not.  Madame is not as funny as she thinks she is.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

That’s ok. Mia thinks I’m hilarious.

Sincerely, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Mia laughs at everything.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Not everything. She thinks all your French is annoying.   She questions your Origin Story. She’s been asking me how the heck you ever got from Paris to the mean streets of South Central Los Angeles.

Sincerely, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

And Madame enlightened her?

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

I told her I just think you’ve been watching too much Henri Le Chat Noir on the internet.

Love, Carolyn
