that awesome moment when you punch a gypsy child in the face

never thought i'd get pickpocketed twice.

although this time i was the successful one!

so basically it went like this:

i went to meet sammie, brynn, and maddie this morning because we decided to go on a spontaneous adventure (to be blogged about soon!) outside of paris. i got to our meeting spot a little early, so i decided to get some money out of the atm. 

after i stuck my card in a entered my pin number, there were suddenly newspapers covering the card and money slots and i hear these two little gypsy kids started blabbering in french. 

instinctively and without thinking, i whipped around and punched one of the little thieves in the face. 

all while yelling, "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!" 

and then this guy pulled them away and told them to de gage (french for get the hell out of here).

i was so thankful this man (and some woman) saw what was happening because if no one would have seen the little brats around me, i honestly don't know what would have happened. they made sure i was ok and warned me to be very careful about my belongings. and then sent me on my way. i settled my nerves (holy carp i was shaking so bad!) with a yummy pain au chocolat.

but score one for annie.

i punched someone (a child...) in the face!
