Writer's Guild Tonight

It's that time again. First Tuesday of the month, which means I waited until just now to do the writing assignment with my three words.
My friend will be here in less than an hour. The meeting is starting a little early, but even I think 4 is a bit early. However, she is taking my picture for the weigh-in I did last Friday.
I didn't exactly choose three easy words this time, not that I have in the past, but I had no idea what I was going to write until I applied fingers to keyboard.
So, here is my offering for this month's Writer's Guild.
Words – di rigueur = strictness
Kibosh = put an end to
Enfant terrible = terrible child
My French teacher kept telling the class we needed di rigueur in everything we did. Me, I only wanted to kibosh the whole thing. I wouldn’t need French when I graduated. My mother told me I was enfant terrible because I didn’t know what I wanted when I graduated.
She was right. I looked at many different careers, but none attracted me. Then I saw an advertisement for a U.N. worker. Foreign language a must.
Okay, I will knuckle down and apply strictness to my studies, and stop being a terrible child, and put an end to thoughts of quitting French class.

There you have it. What do they say, never late, but right on time? As you can see from those words, it wasn't an easy trio to come up with a story, even a hundred word story, which this one is a couple of words over.
Thanks for reading.

@MsBooklover When I write the new story, I usually let you know what the words are.

@just4him - I think you did an excellent job using those words. At first glance, they don't seem to come together at all. Enjoy your meeting!

The card said strictness. I wouldn't have known without the definition.
