In Paris, They Don’t Like Skipping Kids

Posted by jeannesager on June 8th, 2009 at 10:01 am

I’ve always had a thing for the French. The bread. The cheese. The kissing (hello!).

But this sign makes me rethink a revisit to gay Paree now that I’m a mama.

Because WHAT exactly is this sign saying?

No holding hands with your kids? No skipping with your kids? Let them go play in traffic?

Wrong, wrong, wrong. In Paris, the blue background means you CAN do something, and the red line means it’s the “end.” In other words – it’s the end of the sidewalk here folks, no more skipping and holding hands with your kids.

Commence eating cheese and bread – but please, no French kissing your kids.
