Madame Maus parlez Francais....
Apr. 19th, 2002 02:05 pm...I was helping a coworker of mine send something,
(The same one who got the handmade envelope) and the artist who he was showing around was with him at the time.
He was very kind, opening doors for people, and Aaron mentioned the kindness, struggling for a French equivalent.
Moi: C'est "gentile" n'est pas?"
Monsier: Oiu, ce's gentile, C'est vrai. *grins*
Moi."Je parle Francais, un petite peu."
Monsier: "Non, Ce'st assez bien!"
*looks over Aaron's shoulder*
"Qu'est-ce que c'est?"
Moi: " C'est une lettre de l'amour!!!"
*we both crack up, and Aaron blushes good-naturedly*
I'm so proud I remembered so much!!!
