Priceless.
We've just got back from a week in France and in the period between booking and departing, almost a year, our eldest declared he wasn't going to come. My wife had the idea of offering his room to my parents so they could help with looking after our toddler. The only spare room was a twin so I figured we were pretty safe but would get brownie points. But they accepted.
My French is probanly worse than my grade 4 CSE implies so I don't exactly rush to the fore when there is a conversation to be had. My father, on the other hand, is right in there.
We went to a chatau on a hot day and were pleased to find they had a restaurant. Although, the two coaches parked outside set alarm bells ringing.
Unfortunately, while I was getting that it was OK for us to sit outside if we wanted a drink, they couldn't do food as the place was full with a pre booked coach party, despite his repetition of 'J' comprend' (forgive the spelling) he didn't really seem to understand all that much. So when the obviously over worked waitress had settled us at the table my father had chosen to move into the shade, he asked if there was a menu. She pointed out again that there was no chance of food so he asked if they could do sandwichs. When she returned with the drinks he gave up on the French and took the packet of crisps from our todler and pointed at them while asking loudly if they had any of those. She pointed out they were a restaurant so, no, they didn't do crisps.
And why does he always want to chat with the waiting staff like they're life long friends? O god, and yesterday he asked me to book my local pub for my mothers birthday. Which means her mother will be coming who, when we walked past our neighbours house recently said, in her 'I'm deaf so I shout' voice, do those two men still life there. When told that they did she responded with 'Are they poofs?'. Which was nice.
