la_rainette is cool

[fox]

i'll tell you, la_rainette is a sweetheart. look at her talking about the everyday existence of a family with two small children -- it's often funny as hell, and without deliberately going for the laughs; just from la_rainette's skill at observation. added to which, the fact of raising small children is praise-worthy; and doing so in a country far from your own (once upon a time there was a frog who crossed an ocean ...) is brave and impressive.

there are a significant number of ways in which i wish i could be more like la_rainette. she is, as i was taught to say in middle-school french, très gentile et vachement chouette!
