On our way back from picking up our groceries for the night we were walking through the Champs de Mars (the area near the Eiffel Tower) on our way back to the apartment. I was carrying the baguettes and minding my own business when a crazy little gypsy girl came up to me. Now I've seen my fair share of gypsies since I've been here, then tend to gather in the touristy areas which I have visited the most, so I've quickly learned to just ignore them and walk away, they definitely are nothing like Esmarelda in the Hunchback of Notre Dame...
Well this little gypsy girl was something else, she came up super close to me and asked for food. She was literally so close I thought she was just going to take a bite out of the baguette that was in my hand. I tried to turn my shoulder to her and keep walking, something that usually works to get them away, but this one was very persistent. She kept following me, trying to get me to give her food. That's when my mom swooped in and put some distance between the two of us. Apparently it was quite comical for the Leddin's to watch, I can only imagine. A little bit of pressure from my mom and probably an evil look or two and the girl was finally scared away. Thank goodness for those mom genes, ready to attack!
