ro feel Dh has crossed a line in poncetastic parenting?

[Northernlurker]

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

Olim fuit puella cui nomen Sophiae, et cum matre in culina cenabat. Subito ad portam tinnitum est. Mater Sophiae dixit: Miror, quis sit. Lactifer non potest esse, cum mane iam venerit.

no, no, I've got to stop this, I do have some kind of semblance of life

Mus ambulabat per lucum obscurum
Vulpis murem videns se dixit esurum

No, I am going to bed.

Sophie, or wisdom and what did her DM say?

Oh blast, that should have had ' ' for 'Sophie' and 'wisdom'

[Hangs head in shame]

Poncetastic

Surely that is Poncetastique? non?

My bouche is well and truly amused.

vous êtes déraisonnable

non- vous etes raisonable- quittez le batard!

mais emde, que penser des enfants, ne sera pas personne pensez aux enfants!

[Hopes desperately school French isn't too noticeable]

Arf at "Throw a vtech in and show him how to press the buttons"

DP is stroppy because my cackling woke him up

Could you maybe get him to help more around the house. More toilet cleaning, or if you have to, offer him more sex, then he would do such things again!! Good luck!

wouldn't*

leave the bastard

Pre-DC, and studying abroad I bought a rare copy of Le Petit Prince in Tunisian dialect Arabic and French. Tried to get my PFB into it last year (poncetastic parenting attempt N°52478) and failed spectacularly-he did scribble on it though...

If it ain't Ben 10 or Toy Story related it ain't worth reading in this house!

For your DH

Have you seen "Mots d'heures gousses rames"?

Fab book :)

Dh's translation was right anyway.

Now tempted by an English/French version of 'We're going on a Bear Hunt'.

See - you start off with a Fruit Shoot in your hand and this is where you end up..............

Oh bloody hell Cory, I found I recognised that immediately.

That'll be, um, 15 years since I read the book and 35 a bit more since I did latin at school!

Oooh, love the Gruffalo one too!

I did too Lancelottie - and found myself admiring the phrasing.

Haha loved this and I like a little drip feeding! Ignore the sarky and narky mares on the thread!

Der kleine Hase sollte ins Bett gehen, aber er hielt sich noch ganz fest an den langen Ohren des großen Hasen.

Der kleine Hase wollte nämlich ganz sicher sein, dass ger große Hase ihm auch gut zuhörte.

"Rate mal, wie lieb ich dich hab", sagte er.

^ Last night's bedtime story. Does German qualify as poncetastic?

YABU. It's a good idea! Wish I'd learned a language when I was very young, might have got the hang of it then!

My DS had one of those DK board books all about cars that he loved as a toddler.
I used to read it to him and he enjoyed finding the red car, and the blue car etc. etc.

I overheard Daddy reading it to him once:

"That's a Lambourghini XYZ with 8473 horsepower. 0-1000 in 4 nanoseconds! Just look at that streamlined body!"

Or something like that - you can tell I know nothing about cars

I adore M'ots d'Heures: Gousses, Rames.
Absolute genius. There was a thread a while ago on it. Un petit d'un petit ....

No idea whether your DH is poncetastic or not, am too busy boggling at the bad tempered posters no sense of humour.

Tanith: that sounds so familiar!

Psammead that's marvellous!

I do translate into French or German if bored..
"Le petit tigre etait tres mechant et ne voulait jamais aller dormir.
'Je ne veux pas aller dormir!' cria le petit tigre.
Chaque soir, sa maman essaya de laver sa visage et ses pattes, mais le petit tigre cria: 'Je ne veux pas aller dormir!'"
.. unfortunately, still boring in French.

'Die kleine Raupe nimmersatt' is pretty good though.
