Having both of my kids in all-French schools and not being able to speak anything much past "Je suis un anana!", I really relate to this post.<BR/><BR/>Reminds me of the time my father took my brothers to Quebec and they watched this video about seals at some attraction. My brothers are MUCH younger than me and at the time they were quite young so they didn't find the video as humourous as my father did...<BR/><BR/>...the French word for seal is 'foque'.<BR/><BR/>Which, in English, sounds like a very fancy way of saying 'fuck'.mamatuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02692442843330582571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-51011867686231190412008-09-02T15:04:00.000-05:002008-09-02T15:04:00.000-05:00Heh.

I applaud you for making the attempt as any normal rational person would do. <BR/><BR/>When I worked for a Pier1 I occasionally had to talk to the sales girls in Quebec. All I remember was how sexy they sounded.<BR/><BR/>KnotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
