Re: Maurice
in reply to a message by )(
I think it's handsome too, in a very French way; I see Maurice in his beret and with a cigarette in his mouth, strolling down the boulevard on his way to the bakery or something. Even though here in the US it is predominantly a Black Name, that's the first image I get.
There was this book I liked when I was little called "Maurice's Room." It was about a kid who was probably a hoarder, but he called all the junk and trash in his room his collections. His parents ended up moving him to a farm in the country so he'd have other things to get interested in and more room to put them.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
