Everything sounds better with the word "French" hooked on

Allow me to demonstrate the glorious truth of this title that makes even my most mundane activities over here sound amazing when I report about them...

"I went for a walk to the shops and bought some sugar and eggs so I could bake a shortbread slice for my fake family."
Sounds okay, kind of average, definitely nothing too super amazing. Allow me to now improve it one bazillion times simply by the excess addition of the words French and little!

"I went for a little walk to the French shops and bought some sugar and eggs so I could bake a little French shortbread slice for my fake French family."

Woah! Suddenly it feels like we're prancing through a gingerbread world of cosiness deliciousness where everything is covered in icing sugar snow! And why stop there!

"I French went for a little French walk to the little French shops and bought some French sugar and little eggs so I could French-bake a little French shortbread French slice for my little fake French family! ...French."

You can use this rule to improve absolutely anything. Suddenly the most mundane day plans seem romantic and quaint, the most every-day objects seem magical! Simply add the adjective "French" to anything! For example:

Baby-> French Baby
Jam -> French Jam
Dessert -> French Dessert
Man -> French Man
Tax return -> French Tax return

I know. It's a pretty awesome power. Use it wisely.
If you can't use "French" for some reason, then simply tag on the reminder that you can doing your respective activity IN FRANCE.

Going for a walk -> Going for a walk in France
Doing exercise -> Doing exercise in France
Writing a blog -> Writing a French blog in France

Welcome to being a romantic badass French romantic badass... in France.
Unfortunately for most of you, you can't do this unless you're actually French or are currently in France.
I will continue to French abuse this French power for my final French week before I'm driven out of France by the French.
