Gateau au Chocolat? Off with his block!

Maxime really is a chip off the old block. Sandie took him to have his hair cut yesterday ahead of his siblings’ baptism this weekend. Fearless Maxime got his knickers well and truly in a twist when the lady brought out the shears. He left the barbers with tears in his eyes and his hair very much still on his head. He was coaxed (read bribed) by his mother who promised him a chocolate gateau if he went back. After 10 minutes of careful negotiations he agreed. He strolled back into the barbers clutching his hard won prize and issued a stern warning to the poor young girl who had to cut his hair, “toi me fais pas mal toi”. On this evidence I suspect he is going to end up a French baker, either that or an officer in the French army.
