5 janvier

5 is one of my favorite numbers in French. It sounds like the words "sank/sunk" in English but mixed together. I hope that makes sense.

Nothing really to report today,...other than the fact I caught Clémence on fire.

I asked her to come help me with the stove - European ovens, stoves and pretty much all kitchen appliances baffle me. She had just taken a shower and was in her bath robe, she was showing me how to twist the nob, she was letting the gas run a little longer than I would have thought and suddenly a huge flame exploded from underneath the pot and her sleeve went up in flames. 2nd day on the job and I've already managed to almost dangerously damage one child. Bravo. The fire was put out really quickly because I swatted her fiercely with my bare hands. Then we joked about how I almost got fired, pun definitely intended.
