Wednesday’s Word: Rouge.


Rouge

Wednesday's Word back in 1996-

Sacha and I were at the hairdresser's. I was looking at a magazine. Sacha was checking out his surroundings. The women waiting, were admiring Sacha's curls and his English vocabulary.

"Mommy, do you know how to say, "haircut" in French?" Sacha had something up his sleeve, I could tell by the twinkle of mischief in his eye.

"Oh no, I don't. What am I going to do when it is my turn?" I lied.

"Do you want me to tell you how to say, haircut in French?"

"Please, Sacha you are so helpful." I couldn't wait to hear his reply.

He leaned in closely, whispered in my ear, "Just say, rouge!"

—————————–

Rouge, means Red in French. Rouge, was the "in" color to dye ones hair. Red is still Sacha's favorite color. 1996

  7. I’m kind of partial to red as well. I always thought I’d paint a room in my house red but never plucked up the courage.
    I’m going to be in Royan tomorrow — just for a long weekend break. Thanks for the vocabulary lessons!
