My husband and I recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary, and I find myself wondering, after three whole decades, am I finally French? After all, I no longer snack, take long showers, or use a clothes dryer – habits I left behind in America when I came to France all those years ago. But times have changed, and so have I, especially regarding my obsession with becoming French.
