Ma Vie en Rose

Imagine this... you're sitting in a classroom waiting for class to start. There's a knock at the door and in enter 2 guys, both look bulked up and ready to kick some you know what on some sports team. One of them seems to be almost glowing, and then you realize that this surreal glow can only be attributed to the fact that he is wearing a NEON pink*, shiny, fitted soccer shirt.

This is my life. It's hard not to laugh sometimes.

To add to the strangeness, I had them read an article about construction. There was a soccer picture at the top, and the article was about having your construction company perform at their top capabilities. Well this poor guy seems to have soccer on the brain so he somehow missed that the article was about construction, not soccer. He was genuinely shocked when I broke the news to him ("Vraiment? Oh, putain! C'est pas possible..."), and the clincher was when I asked if he thought the article was a good one, and he said clearly not when they use pictures that have nothing to do with the article. I guess he's not an abstract thinker.

*I don't have a problem with guys wearing pink... and this is no exception! It's just a little bit of a "hello"/whiplash/smack in the face to have the neon/shiny/fitted attributes added to the mix first thing in the morning.
