Bob Is Bilingual

I'm really, really sorry, but phenomena such as this must be reported.

Cousin Annie and I were talking this afternoon, and we'll just never let Miss Manners or Emily Post know a thing about this. Somehow the conversation deteriorated to the point that Cousin Annie confided in me that Bob -- remember Bob Dog?...snow bunny...carpet eater -- that Bob now knows the word "ooppay."

"Your dog knows Pig Latin?"

"Yeah! He's German, but he understands it."

Nice normal family


A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. ~Proverbs 15:13

Hey, Pierre...I don't know why you had to write that in two languages. Remember...I'm bilingual!

Hey man, sorry 'bout the attention thing. They just can't resist me!! ;)

Your Cousin Bob
(I can speak & understand, but have a hard time writing, so my mom wrote this for me.)

Andare masticare sul suo maglione, Bob.

Pierre said...

M'excuser.
Aller mâcher sur votre chandail, Bob

Listen, I gotta tattle on myself...

I decided to help Pierre use an English-French translator to tell Bob, "Go chew on your sweater." And I was feeling pretty stinkin' satisfied with myself, until I was outdoors 15 minutes later and realized out of nowhere I'd used an Italian translator!

Of course, I had to help him grab the French, then I slinked-slank-slunk (you choose) away, licking my elderly wounds. *sigh*

Pierre isn't tri-lingual. And my brain is about old as dirt. Busted.
