\tForget French lessons.<\/p>\n
\tJust keep inviting Kaitlyn’s little French friend home for lunch.<\/p>\n
\tWhat an exercise in my ability to speak French. Or inability as the case may be…. I only followed about half of what she said and the half I followed was generally when she was answering a direct question.<\/p>\n
\tKaitlyn sprinkled the occasional French word in conversation. For instance, when we got in the car she pointed at a piece of bread sitting on the seat (yes… bread… we were a little crunched for time this morning and Kaitlyn took her breakfast in the car) and said \u0093don’t eat ca.\u0094 <\/p>\n
\tToward the end of lunch and this poor child’s frustration with things like me constantly saying \u0093je ne comprends pas\u0094 (I don’t understand) and Kaitlyn’s \u0093don’t eat ca\u0094 I decided she could give me the best possible answer about Kaitlyn’s French. I asked her if Kaitlyn speaks French at school. She made me repeat the question… like it was so odd. Then she said \u0093oui… beaucoup.\u0094 I’ll assume then that \u0093don’t eat ca\u0094 was simply a token for my benefit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
