his aunt needing to gossip with her maid constantly about what she sees out the window is just like me texting my friends all the time, like the need to debrief with the besties is so real

the thing about the madeleine anecdote for me is that my japanese grandpa who sometimes speaks french used to buy madeleines a lot. and talk about memory. and i never understood when i was 10 what he was really talking about (and i don't remember if he talked about the madeleines with me in english, japanese, or french). But now I see that maybe he was talking about Proust. I wonder if he would remember if I asked.
