Congratulations to the French men's handball team for winning the gold medal at the Olympics this year!
After your big win, La Mom decided to re-post this since handball is a topic of much discussion chez nous.
French women, here's to getting your gold medal handball fantasies on. Whatever.

| W is for Woteva |
Big Cheese and the French Fries learned a new word while on holiday recently: woteva.
<----- They also learned the hand gesture that accompanies this word.
"Woteva" was the word du jour and quite overused during our vacation in the sun.
For example...
Big Cheese: Chérie, did you know the French won the men's swimming championship last summer?
La Mom: The French finally won a medal in a manly sport.
Big Cheese: What do you mean? We win the handball championships every year.
La Mom: Wot-ev-a. American girls fantasize about dating basketball stars and English girls fantasize about dating soccer stars. Have you met one French girl who fantasizes about dating a handball player?
Big Cheese: Wot-ev-errrr

La Mom: We're off to the pool, French Fries.
Big Fry: Hey look, there's a crocodile floating in the pool.
Small Fry: C'est bizarre, I thought all of the crocodiles were at Louis Vuitton?
(La Mom & Big Cheese laugh)
Big Fry: Wot-ev-a.

Hilarious! I have two cheeky tweens of my own, who have already learnt several versions of 'woteva', namely 'à ton avis', 'et alors?' and 'so what?'
