French Idiot

So, as if the antics of my son weren't enough, yesterday, my daughter decided to make my day a whole lot better.

My dear children like to make their own way to Primary on Sundays (since it's not too cool to walk down the hall holding your mom's hand) and I actually like this arrangement alot. I can stop and talk to whomever I want for however long I want.

I always mosey on down eventually to make sure they made it and are doing what they're supposed to. Because you know, inevitably the one time I don't will be the day they play hookey or something. You forget, I am raising my own children, and I do know all the tricks!

So I went to check on the kids, and I peered in the window of my almost 10-year-old's classroom, expecting to see the kids sitting down listening to their teacher. Typical, right?

Except that that's not what I saw. Nope, I saw my daughter standing up on a chair right by the door talking to the whole class.

And then I heard what she was saying.

"I know how to say Idiot in french. Does anyone want to learn how to say it?"

And I watched in amusement horror disbelief as she proceeded to teach them. Don't ask me where she learned it--unless I need to question the school as to what that french teacher is teaching in her class. (Once upon a time I knew a lot of french, but I never knew the translation of "idiot." I can, however, tell you to shut up.)

AND THEN, I tapped my fingernail on the glass, to see her turn around, see me, and jump down. Only I also saw her teacher's head swivel around to look also. Can you believe!
Her teacher was in there, watching and letting her teach this!! In church!

So apparently, all of the 9 year old kids at church now can go home and insult their parents. In another language. Compliments of my daughter.
