Do the laundry

May  27, 2025 disponible en français

We’re talking about career guidance with 14yo, and higher education:

– So, can I go to Paris1 after my bac2?
– To study in a university?
– Well, yeah.
– Of course, if it’s the best choice for you at the time. But that also means doing your own shopping, your own laundry…
– Oh. And I can’t go with my brother?
– No, definitely not. He’ll still be in junior high. And besides, he isn’t going to do your laundry or shopping for you.
– Ah… I know! You can just come with me! You could visit your colleagues in Paris!
– Hmm… but what if your university is a long way from my work?
– But you’re a remote worker! It makes no difference for you. You could work from my apartment!
– And what about Mom? Does she stay here, all by herself?
– Of course not, she’ll have Gabriel [his brother]. Plus, you’ll see her on the weekends!

Then he left the conversation, proud as a rooster, murmuring “Ha ha, I’m just too good at finding solutions!”.
