The Quilt

The Frenchman’s wife, “What are you two doing on

the quilt I'm making!?”

Caline, “I wasn’t doing anything but playing with this

strange fruit.”

Frère, “It’s ok we know that you intend this quilt for us!”

Caline, “We really like it! We are very thankful for this

quilt which you are making for us!!!”

Frère, “It is such a nice quilt!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “You two are bad! I’m not making

this quilt for you!!!”

Caline, “Well who are you making it for then?”

New Boxes!

The Frenchman, “Caline, how do you like the

boxes we bought?”

Caline, “They're very fun to climb in!”

The Frenchman, “What do you think, Frère?”

Frère, “I like this one!”

Frère, “It’s big enough to be my new bed!”

Buckets for Beds!

The Frenchman, “We just finished cleaning and now you

two are using the buckets for beds, you’re so lazy!”

Caline, “Well what’s wrong with that?”

Frère, “We’re not so lazy, see we’re playing!”

*Note: A few seconds later.

Frère, “Ok point proven back to napping!”

Caline, “No more playing?”

*Note: Caline always wants to play and Frère only wants to sleep!  To see Caline playing under one of these buckets click here.

Un Sachet Carton

The Frenchman’s wife, “I was going to use that bag.”

Caline, “Too late.”

Caline, “I am going to use it as a hiding place.”

Caline, “And then when Frère comes by I’m going

to attack him!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Well you’ll have to wait a long

time because he’s sleeping.”

Old Habits Die Hard!

The Frenchman’s wife, “You two act like that chair is

yours! But in fact it’s mine.”

Caline, “That’s why we like it so much.”

Frère, “Shhh, you're bothering us.”

*Note: To see Caline and Frère in this same chair when they were younger and to see how much smaller they were click here.

The Eavesdropper

The Frenchman’s wife, “Caline, what are

you looking at?”

Caline, “There’s a really ugly cat in

that apartment!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “That’s not

very nice to say.”

Hunt on the French Prairies

The Buffalo, “It’s such a nice day to graze in the

French prairies.”

Frère, “Carefully I wait and snick up on the Buffalo,

and then…”

The Buffalo, “AHHH… A GIANT TIGER!!!”

The Remaining Buffalo, “Oh no he’s eating him alive!”

Frère, “Tasty!”

*Note: These are Buffalo imported from a strange country, they are not native to France.

Merci Beaucoup!

The Frenchman’s wife, “Today we received

a box from my family and in it were toys

for Caline and Frère. These are the toys

that they got.”

Caline, “This one is my favorite!!!”

Frère, “I want to play with it too.”

Caline and Frère, “Thank you so very much

people from a strange country!”

Trop Grand...

The Frenchman, “Caline, I think there’s

not enough space for you”

Caline, “There is plenty…see!

Frenchman, “But you are hanging of a bit

and you seem to be squishing Frère.

You are not as small as you used to be.”

Too Much Love!

Tiger, “Help! My face is falling off! Help!!!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Ok, hang on and I’ll sew it up!”

*Note: A short while later after all is done.

Tiger, “Please put me out of reach so that

I can recover in peace.”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Ok I’ll put you

up here.”

Tiger, “OH NO! THE BEAST!!!”

Tiger, “PLEASE HELP ME!!!”

*Note: After a fast rescue…

The Frenchman’s wife, “I’ll put you down

here where she can’t get to you.”

Tiger, “Thank you so very much!”

Tiger, “Without you I would surely have

lost my head by now! But then again I'm

a very tough tiger and nothing can...”

Tiger, “AHHH…HELP! I ADMIT IT, I’M

REALLY NOT AS TUFF AS I MAKE

MYSELF OUT TO BE!!!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Sorry Tiger, but

she ran off with you and I can't

catch her.”

Bonne Nuit

The Frenchman, “What are you two doing in the chair?”

Frère, “Sleeping can’t you tell.”

Caline, “Shhh…”

*Note: Caline and Frère normally only sleep in this chair at night.

The Bath Wins!

Caline, “Six baths and I can never shake off the water!”

Frère, “This is all your fault! If you hadn’t peed we…”

Caline, “Tais-toi!”

(Translation: Shut up!)

Frère, “Now we have to lick all of this dry and straight,

also your fault!”

Caline, “Your not helping!”

*Note: Later that evening Caline and Frère both had to have there paws re-washed due to the fact that they got them very dirty!

Cuteness vs. Bath

The Frenchman’s wife, “You two look so cute sleeping

there together! But Don’t forget you’re getting

your bath today.”

Frère, “What!”

Caline, “It’s ok brother, I have a plan.”

Caline, “We'll stay here and keep being cute she’ll

forget because of our cuteness.”

The Frenchman’s wife, “I doubt it will work.”

Home Sweet Home!

Caline, “I had to come out of the cage when

we first got on the train because it was too

uncomfortable without the pillow.”

Frère, “It’s your fault we don’t have the

pillow! You peed on it!!!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “And because of that,

you both will have to have a bath soon.”

*Note: A few hours later and finally home.

Frère, “Let us out!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “There you go.”

Frère, “Yipi! We’re home!!!!”

Caline, “I love home!!!!”

Frère, “I missed you so much home!!!!”

*Note: After Caline and Frère rolled some more on the balcony and went around to check and make sure that everything was just as they left it they came to join us as we unpacked.

Frère, “If we help you unpack will you change your

mind about giving us a bath?”

The Frenchman, “No, sorry.”
