[Northernlurker]

I almost can't bring myself to tell you what he's done.

what a waste of time. dont post if your not going to post anything fgs

Tell, tell!

[settles self, all ears]

Ok every night dd3 has a story and then we (still) read 'That's not my polar bear'. She has loved that book for about 4 years.

Anyway the other night dd1 was reading to her and started chucking in some french phrases here and there. Dd3 loved this and giggled her haed off so dh had a bright idea........

Gwan

yawn

And...

Exactly how many parts is this thread going to be in?

He got the book and translated it in to FRENCH!

He then wrote out his translation and stuck it at the back of the book with a fold out flap so you can read it alongside every page.

Now dd3 won't have the damn thing in English anymore.

stop being attention seeking and just tell us

....? What is it?!

What's wrong with teaching kids another language?

Formidable!

Zut Alors!

Poncetastic

Zut alors!

well that was dull. you could have saved time by putting it in the first post or even better not posting it at all

I'm sorry I couldn't bear to put it all in one post.

What am I going to do? I buy Fruit shoots for heavens sake! Now I have a 5 year old who's demanding a bedtime story in French.

How did this happen?

Nothing wrong with learning another language but at bedtime?

Sounds like a great idea. A bloody excellent one in fact. You is unreasonable

Ha that is spectacularly poncey!

And this thread is full of grumpy gits, cheer up you lot!

Oh. cheers beat me to it.

Maybe balance it out with a Griggs sausage roll to go with story time?

No, he has to do this loudly in a supermarket to be poncetastic.

Might have to be in Latin as well.

Excellent... I'm going to translate "Goodnight moon" into French. And then the Gruffallo.

"Zut Alors! M'aider! C'est un Gruffallo!!!"
