Ma famille francais!
as relayed in an IM conversation
Taylor says:
the last name is "chabennet"
the poppa is phillipe
and the momma is magdeleine
they are 44 and 43, respectively
then they have two boys
Thomas is almost 16 and Quentin is 14
Mariah says:
nice
Taylor says:
25 years ago, phillipe spent a year (senior year, I'm guessing from the math) in tacoma, wa
which is pretty cool
Mariah says:
oooh
that is pretty cool
Taylor says:
they live in the suburbs
in an "average" house
a recently remodeled old one
with "period" furniture
Mariah says:
everyone has period furniture
did you get pictures?
Taylor says:
some of the pictures were in the house
but they were all in one room
they have a tv, a compy, email, and a library
Mariah says:
k
Taylor says:
now remember that library thing for later, it comes up again
Mariah says:
do you sleep in the library?
Taylor says:
no no, something else
at least I don't think I sleep in the library....
they have a family car and otherwise I can take public transport
normal stuff right?
so far...
Mariah says:
k
do they have a dragon?
Taylor says:
no, just a dog
a black lab named Utah
Mariah says:
utah?
Taylor says:
yep, utah
out of "regular schedule" "active" "calm" "relaxed" or "orderly"
they checked the "regular schedule" box
I'm not sure what that means....
it's in the "general atmosphere" section
they do not practice any religion
Mariah says:
maybe it'll be like boot camp or something
Taylor says:
no no, something else
I'm getting there
Mariah says:
well get there faster!
Taylor says:
they wanted an american boy with no dietary restraints or smoking
Taylor says:
which I so happen to be
Mariah says:
true
running tests on you?
Taylor says:
and I will not have to share a room
Mariah says:
nice
Taylor says:
which, when I think about it
they have two kids and boys that age wouldn't share a room
and I get my own room
the parents have a room
we're talking at least four bedrooms
oh, they also have a garden
Mariah says:
possible or the two boys are just sucking it up for a year
gardens are common things
Taylor says:
okay, here we go
the rest is all in quotes
"we are a family of 5 peoples
Mariah says:
are they counting the dog?
Taylor says:
magdeleine, the mother: she runs a travel agency, working a lot, but close to our home
(anything in parenthesis will be me talking) (yeah, counting the dog)
so she manages to be available for the family when it's needed
she loves to cook for the family and friends
thomas
he is the oldest boy of the family (nearly 16)
thomas plays badminton on saturday afternoon and is attending scuba diving on wednesday evening
Mariah says:
oooh! badmintion!
Taylor says:
he likes to play with his video games - psp, xbox, wii, and computer -
Mariah says:
so they'll have video games too?
Taylor says:
(yeah, it gets even better
he likes to read comics and he is the biggest friend of our dog called utah
quentin
he is the youngest boy (nearly 14)
quentin plays judo on monday and thursday evening and like his brother he is attending scuba diving on wednesday evening
he plays video games with his brother and likes to read comics also
phillippe - the father:
he is working for a company which produces and sells women's underwear -like victoria's secret
Mariah says:

Taylor says:
he works all over france and isn't often home except the weekend
he likes to cook, read lots of comics - we have about 4000 comics - and play video games with his boys
Mariah says:
sweet
Taylor says:
he also enjoys to look for mushrooms in the forest when it's the season"
(okay, we now go back a little...remember that library I mentioned? 4 thousand comic books....)
(you know all the comics matty and I have, all of them put together?)
(yeah, we have maybe 500)
Mariah says:
but yours are also tiny little magazine things
i don't know how many i have...
Taylor says:
you have a couple hundred
but they have four thousand....
and they play video games as a family!
it keeps going though
"Utah: it's the family dog and the keeper of the house. it knows every person of the family
all the family likes good food and to cook
Mariah says:
fat taylor!
Taylor says:
we play all together video games and read comics
the boys seem to fight all the time, but are missing each other if one isn't there
we all enjoy travels abroad - canada, australia, st martin - and going to our summer place near the sea - oleron island"
that's all
