I remember the first time someone called me that I was ready to slap them... nowadays if someone calls me miss, I feel like giving them a huge hug ;)<BR/><BR/>We used to live in a very Polish neighbourhood, and I loved it. Everyone thought my husband was Polish, as he would greet them when he entered the shops... and then stop because he didn't know any more than the greeting. And of course he always greeted them...

They only spoke French. After about half an hour he toddled back - very proud that he had taught them French! Basically he would say in English", DO you know how to say stars in French?" THey would stare at him, totally confused and then he would say the work in French...he did this for all major body parts, holiday seasons, zoo animals, shapes, days of the week, and numbers...everything he learned in school this year...yep, he taught them French all right!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122365458052947125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-73707026586156736942008-07-03T01:28:00.000-04:002008-07-03T01:28:00.000-04:00What a cute story!
