French Faux Pas Part 1: We're off to see the Wizard...wait no?

This is the first of an ongoing series regarding my friendship with two fantastic French Ladies and how I am trying to slowly inundate them with my Americanism. Sometimes I wonder how they have existed for so long without some of the wonderful cultural gems of America. Through my overactive sense of Nationalism I plan to "share" my favorite things with them throughout the rest of our time together. After all, I don't see much of a difference between us, both of our flags are red, white and blue and like any overindulgent only child I expect them to like everything I do ;) Hey wait, that rhymed..haha

Charlotte and Jessica on the metro

Jessica: Oh look how cute that puppy is, he looks just like Toto

Charlotte: Toto?, what is a Toto?

Jessica: "You know, Toto from The Wizard of Oz, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, yellow brick road, munchkins, ruby slippers, the wicked witch of the west, there's no place like home, any of this ringing a bell?"

Charllote: "eeuuaahhh...no...I have not hear of this Oz who is a Wizard? And what bell?"

Jessica: pause for a rare moment of speechlessness, "It's ok Charlotte, I'll send you the link on youtube"
