The Box of Dirt

Frère, “Do you know what this is? I saw
him dumping dirt in it.”

Caline, “I can’t tell what it is.”
Frère, “It doesn't smell like much.”

Caline, “From this side it looks the same.”

Caline, “It really just seams to be a big
box of dirt.”

Caline, “Maybe if I attack it… no...
no reaction.”

Caline, “What is the point of this thing?”
Frère, “I think he’s lost his mind.”



*Note: This is not just a big box of dirt it is a planter in which to plant a very small garden.

French Lesson 3

Frère, “This is the worst word in the whole
French language!!! It means "the bath".”

Frère, “I don’t want to use it in a sentence because it is
so nasty! But to educate you on avoiding it …
J'ai juste eu un bain.”
(Translation: I just had a bath.)

Frère, “That tastes so bad coming out! But now you
know if your hear or see the words
“Le Bain”, run!”

Frère, “Now I’m going to give myself a proper cleaning.”

La Plume

The Frenchman, “Frère, did you eat the bird that
feather belonged to?”

Frère, “No! I would never harm a bird! The feather just
blew on the balcony by it’s self.”
The Frenchman, “Ok, if you say so.”

Frère, “But this feather has become my most
favorite thing!”

Frère, “I love it so much that I kiss it… mouah!”

Frère, “And I give it lots of hugs!!!”



*Note: No birds were harmed!

No More Room!

The Frenchman’s wife, “Frère, you almost don’t fit in
the cubby when you lay like that.”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Be careful you may role out.”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Caline, I really don’t think that
there is enough room in there for you.”

The Frenchman’s wife, “You just pushed him out!!!”

Caline, “Yes and now there’s room for me!”



*Note: Caline and Frère love to sleep in the bookcase. To see pictures of them when they were smaller and could both fit click here.
