My wife at 7 years old

My wife, feeding our daughter

My wife grew up in the north of France. I found a letter she wrote when she was around seven years old:

La souris,

Vous faites mal votre travail. ça fait deux dents que je perds. Je n'ai toujours rien. Je vais me plaindre au roi des souris!

Leïla

Translation:

Dear Tooth Fairy,

You're doing a bad job. I lost two teeth. I still have nothing. I'm going to complain to the King of the Tooth Fairies!

Leïla

In France, the "tooth fairy" is a little mouse who takes your teeth and leaves a bit of change in return.

Around the letter she wrote various things such as vilaine and méchante — "naughty" and "mean".

Even at seven years old, my wife was a bad ass.
