Le bateau

Une petite fille dit à son père:
- Papa! Papa! Regarde un bateau !
- C'est pas un bateau ça; c'est un yacht !
- Comment ça s'écrit «yacht »?
- Heu ... tu as raison c'est un bateau !

Note: In spoken French, they may say “C’est pas” instead of “Ce n’est pas.” 

A little girl says to her father:
- Daddy! Daddy! Look! A boat!
- That’s not a boat; it’s a yacht!
- How do you spell “yacht”?
- Er … you’re right; it’s a boat!

The yeacher asks Toto:
- What is the future [tense] of ‘I yawn’?
- I sleep!

I am doing my PhD in Comparative Literature at the University of Alberta. In my research I use three languages: Farsi, English, and French. The first is my mother tongue, and the second has been the language of instruction in my studies during the past decade. As for French, I dare to say that my familiarity with Camille’s great products has been a turning point in my relationship with this language. Thanks Camille!
