If only it were that easy...

You know how, when you buy a new wallet, 

it comes with fake credit cards?

This week, while experiencing the annual exercise in frustration

known as renewing my Carte de Séjour (Resident's Visa),

I couldn't help wishing it was that easy to add French nationality 

to my collection of ID cards.

OK, OK, so the woman in the photo 

is a bit older than me,

surely has a better French accent than I do,

& has bangs & brown eyes.

Otherwise, I could totally pass myself off as her, non?

P.S.  The tomatoes have nothing to do with immigration.  

Just in case you were wondering.
