Cross-cultural Confusion Continued

16 May, 2006
Posted in: Princess

Example 1

Her: You be Daddy.

Me: And who are you?

Her: Me.

Me: OK.

Her: No, talk in French.

Me: D’accord.

Her: Papa est-ce que je peux avoir des crisps?

Me: I think Daddy says ‘chips’ honey.

Her: Papa est-ce que je peux avoir des moutons?

Example 2

Her father shows her a page from a book featuring food, animals and various flora and asks her to point out things you can eat.  Spaghetti is the answer he is hoping for.  She immediately points to a snail.
