Ah... la mode de notre enfance

Allez, je ne révèle pas le nom de l'amie en question mais avouez que ça envoie du lourd côté fashion! Tous les hipsters porteront ça la semaine prochaine.

Oh the fashion of our youth... 

* Don't worry, I remember, we all wore those horrible legging-pants

* No no, you don't understand

* I wore leggings with bunnies on them!

* Wait that's not the worst...

* My mom had matching ones!

I won't share the name of this friend but you have to admit it is a pretty amazing fashion statement. All the hipsters will be wearing these in a week!

Une petite dernière illustration de souvenirs (oh, c'est mignooon) 

Explication ici

Do you remember when we roller-skated in the house when 

the parents weren't looking

"The floors are really nice in this house, I had apprehensions but overall I'm happy"

"Yes you're right, especially in the corridors"

"We just need to watch out not to damage them"
"But don't worry, I told the girls not to do anything stupid like roller-skate and you know them, they obey!"

Do you remember the installation of the birds

in the Christmas tree every year

Cette tradition est trop compliquée à expliquer, mais chaque année c'était un dilemme incroyable et source de pleurs intenses!

This tradition is too complicated to explain, but every year it was a terrible dilemma and great source of tears!

"Do you realise you've been 

doing this for an hour?"

Do you remember the toilet paper battles accross the hallway?

Bon oui, chaque famille à ses jeux débiles...

Come on, everybody has their own stupid games...

Do you remember that, whenever we take a picture, 

Mom needs to remove "the laundry" first

Mon dernier projet en date: une série de souvenirs d'enfance dessinés pour un cadeau d'anniversaire. 

On a une tradition chez moi, avec mes (affreuses) soeurs, on écrit dans un carnet les meilleurs souvenirs de notre enfance quand on y repense. On commence toujours par "vous vous rappelez quand". J'en ai ressorti quelques un pour les dessiner. 

My latest project: a series of childhood souvenirs turned to cartoons for a birthday present.

We have a tradition at home, with my (horrible) sisters, we write down in a book our favorite souvenirs when we remember them. We always start with "do you remember when". 

Do you remember when Marie and Agnès sent the neighbors 

flyers to do little jobs and they ended the letters by

 "If you are nice you will give us money"

Mon père avait bien insisté. "Il ne faut pas demander de salaire pour les petits travaux, les gens vous donneront ce qu'ils veulent". On avait interpreté ça à notre manière... :)

My dad had insisted "You can't ask for a salary for little chores, people will pay you if they want to". We interpreted that a little differently... :)

Do you remember when Marie threw all of 

Agnès's clothes in the bath?
