The Observation Tower

The Frenchman’s wife, “What are you

doing up there?” 

Frère, “I am inspecting all that happens

from the balcony to the couch!”

Frère, “And even to the table!”

Frère, “I am here to oversee all

that you do!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “You seem to be

doing a very good job.”

*Note: Frère loves to sit on top of this tower in the living room and watch what goes on but I think he becomes bored because he always ends up in the middle of a nap.

Who’s bed is this?

The Frenchman’s wife, “What do you two

think you're doing?” 

Frère, “It’s ok we’re just relaxing on our bed.” 

The Frenchman’s wife, “That’s my bed and I just

made it up too!” 

Caline, “Shh… I’m trying to defeat the Lion.”

The Frenchman’s wife, “You two are being so bad!”

On the Other Side of the Door

The Frenchman, “What is this little thing under

the door?”

The Frenchman, “I see two little paws.”

The Frenchman, “Oh and there’s an eye.

Is that you Caline?”

Caline, “Yes, it’s me! Can you please open the door

for me, I can’t seam to open it myself or

fit under this space?”

The Frenchman, “Sure!”

*Note: When Caline and Frère play roughly we put them on the other half of the apartment. It’s for there safety (they once broke a glass while playing roughly in the living room). But after they calm down they want to come back on the other half where we are (they do not like to be where we are not). And so to let us know that they want to come back they stick there paws under the door.

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 Reine

The Frenchman’s wife, “Caline, look at you! Do you think

you’re the queen of the couch?”

Caline, “I don’t think it I know that I am!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Oh…”

Caline, “Oui! Apportez moi du poisson frais!”

(Translation: Yes! Now Bring me some fresh fish!)

The Frenchman’s wife, “We don’t have any more.”

Caline, “Quoi! Mais la Reine l'exige!”

(Translation: What! But the Queen demands it!)

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!
