This morning was Mother’s Day in France. I had the sweetest little presents and cards: a necklace, which I wore boldly to church (it was very very large), a beaded ring which I wore daintily on my middle finger (it was very very small) and a bouquet of kisses from my Petit Prince. It went like this:
Bonne fête petite maman!
J’ai ceuilli dans le grand champ
Un bouquet de bisous blancs.
Bisous doux!
Bisous fous!
Un bouquet plein de bisous!
And it meant this:
Happy Mother’s Day, little mama.
I went to the meadow and picked a big bouquet of white kisses.
Sweet kisses!
Ardent kisses!
A bouquet full of kisses.
And here’s the sweetness in action if you don’t mind clicking over. Why can’t I embed a video on my blog? (sob).
A happy, happy Mother’s Day to all of you out there, even if you already celebrated it.
(Even if you’re not a mom).
(Even if you’re not a woman).
Everyone deserves a bouquet of kisses, including you.
How sweet is that…very, very sweet and, equally beautiful in both languages!
HAPPY MOTHER”S DAY!
Happy Mother’s Day to you!
I’d love to see a photo of that necklace. How big was it?
Aw, sweet poem! And sweet poem reciter 🙂
What does the necklace and ring look like? Pictures!
Happy Mother’s Day 🙂 sweet sweet post 🙂
Oh, so cute! Happy Mother’s Day! Sounds like it was a perfect one. I love the “sweet kisses” part!
best gift, in my opinion: the fact that you can’t embed a video either. I try and try and the internet just laughs at me. phtooey. Stills are much more powerful, I tell myself. Happy mother’s day, happy summer. I wonder why mother’s day floats around – in the UAE it was in mid-April, in the States it’s May, in France (all of Europe?) it’s early June. Hmm.
A bouquet of kisses. Lovely. Just lovely.
Happy Mother’s Day!!
A bouquet of kisses. I love it! SO sweet.
Happy French Mother’s Day to you!
Happy Mother’s Day, wonderful lady.
See you soon!
Sounds like perfectly wonderful Mother’s Day!
I’m glad that it was a good day.
Oh, happy day, little mama.
And so much love to you always.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Don’t we have to pay extra to embed videos on WordPress? That video has to be priceless.
Oh! How sweet is that? Happy Mother’s Day to you 🙂
Gorgeous. What better kind of bouquet is there? Happy Mother’s Day.
Happy Mother’s Day. We should be celebrated every day and showered with back massages and foot rubs 🙂
Happy Mother’s day. Loved the video!
Your son is a little poet! A beautiful gift. And kudos on wearing the jewelry. I’m sure your children felt so loved and proud.
Oh, I love it! So sweet. And it reminds me of this little boy in Neuilly who everyday, upon arriving at school, would turn around and yell ‘Bisous mama!’ I used to linger at the bus stop a second round just to hear it.
Oh, how lovely! What a wonderful day! I absolutely adore Petit Prince! I could watch him for hours . . . So absolutely fabulous!
