Gen: (to Jeff, just as he’s walking out the front door) It looks bright and sunny outside!
Jeff: That’s because it is bright and sunny outside.
Gen: If I put on a load of washing, will it rain?
Jeff: Yes, it will absolutely rain if you do some washing.
Many hours later as the wind is howling and the rain is drumming so loudly on our roof that I can hardly hear myself think
Jeff: (via SMS because he is walking home from the train station) You did a load of washing, didn’t you?
Gen: Yes
Jeff: So it’s your fault I’m cold and wet and miserable!
Gen: Oh …. yes, I guess so. If it makes you feel any better, my clothes are cold and wet and miserable, too.
Jeff: Your clothes are cold and wet because you put them in a wetting device known as a washing machne.
Gen: But then I hung them out on the clothesline in the sun and they were probably almost dry! Then it rained, and they were all like “fucking deja vu” and even though they’re annoyed with me, I’m kind of proud that my clothes speak French.
Jeff: Huh. … Is “fucking” a French word?
Queen Gen 
Anything is a French word if you put “le” before it, isn’t it ;)?
Fucking is a french word. You know like when you cuss up a storm and then say, “oh, excuse my French?” Yeah, so like that.
But it’s spelled Fukine and pronounced Foo-keen. I’m all international and shiz like that, yo. 🙂
It’s good to have multilingual bloggers around to confirm these things for me.
HAHAHA! As someone whose first language is French, I totally approve of this blog post.
Oh good! I forgot that I ran the risk of insulting the French here. Your approval is a relief. 🙂
that was FUN 😀
Thanks! I really do enjoy calling the weather gods down on my baby brother. That’s what sisters are for, right?
YEAH, WEE is a French word too.
Ha.ha.
Oh, listen to you! Been in Paris for a few days and you’re practically fluent in the language now!
it’s prob Anglo Saxon but English is the only language in the world comprised from Latin and Germanic roots so it kinda counts as French as well I guess?!
Of course! It’s linguistically obvious!
