French faux pas... That's a phrase right? Whahaha...
Okay, as a kid I was okay in French. I sang the athem, I played those class games, and could passably speak. Then, something happened - I moved to New Zealand. See, there isn't a dominant second official language - there are a few that run pretty close together in the running. The winner though: Japanese. Yep - it's true - that was what they taught me at good old stuffy and sometimes scary 'Chilton St. James' private school! It totally and completely messed up my pre-existing French skills. Then, I returned to Canada and couldn't pick French back up. Then, to make matters worse I also lost my Japanese skills. Sad. Never caught up. Took what I needed to graduate - then kicked all different language goals to the curb. Anyways... on to the present day funnies...
We went shopping today. Put a little more space between us and the cold cold waters of the lake. In Aldo, we were browsing through shoes, when Nenners turned to the 'Solde' section - I turned to her and said... "Oh, those ones have already been sold"... I knew as soon as the words starting leaving my mouth that they were on sale NOT sold. I just couldn't stop it quick enough. Total Blonde moment! Gave Nenners a good laugh though :P
