The Dumbstruck Of Notre Dame

I’m an American student studying abroad in Paris, France. I am lining up outside the famous Notre Dame cathedral. Behind me are a couple of other American tourists, two bougie girls who speak in that stereotypical “valley girl” accent.

Girl #1: “Why is that sign asking us to cover our shoulders?!”

Girl #2: “Yeah, it’s not like this place is a church or something!”

I roll my eyes, pay my entry fee, and walk into the place. I am admiring the amazing architecture. I assume the valley girls behind me are doing the same, as I overhear quite loudly:

Girl #2: “OMG, it is a church!”
