And because the tents are so close together, there is no privacy, therefore the message could be: you take care of your onions and I'll take care of mine. Wow! what a trip I just took. ha, ha, ha. C'est mon opnion. In my opinion, when I read this expression the image of a market with people selling all kinds of vegetable and fruits in tents, comes up to my mind.

Hehe, I never thought about this possibility before. Onions do make us cry, so taking care of my own is more than enough. :-) Thanks for this astute comment. Salut Anna!

You're absolutely right, this is not a very friendly expression, but hey sometimes, you've got to do what you've got to do to keep people out of your "oignons", oh, what did I say, business. :-) Thanks for the link. I will check it out. Bonjour, Jan,

In Dutch you say; "Bemoei je met je eigen zaken." it is not very friendly to say this to a person. I found a site which, according to me, gives a very good explanation of this expression . <a href="http://chocolateandzucchini.com/archives/2009/01/soccuper_de_ses_oignons.php" target="_blank">http://chocolateandzucchini.com/archives/2009/01/...</a> Best regards, Jan Bonjour prof,

So just our oignons make us enough tear, why do we have to get others' oignons. It's a burden,isn't it? Every time we peel oignons, our tears will come out, sometimes like crying.
