Rarely do I have to Google words, but euphonious sounded right and it was, thanks.

I wrote it, then googled to make sure it meant what I thought.

A couple of classics often heard at my tante Veronique’s
place in Méricourt sous Lens, “Qui moi? Je pense pas!”
(Who me? Don’t think so.)
And ”Moi? Jamais, tu te trompé.” (Me? Never, you are mistaken.)
Made no difference, my mother always took Veronique’s side.

I saw these two on bumper stickers and thought they were pretty great:

I May Be Slow But I Am Ahead of You

Know Jesus Know Peace, no Jesus no peace

"euphonious", sounds like some medieval musical instrument.
