FINE FEATHERED FOOEY

Our teenager was sent to the local middle school to talk about French class and the joys of learning about the civilization of France along with the beautiful language.

The idea was to recruit eighth-graders for next year’s beginning class at the high school.

She was supposed to speak in French as much as possible, to demonstrate how neat it sounds, and to whet their whistles, so to speak.

Much to her shock, one of the students asked, ‘’How do you say (the ‘’f’’ word) in French?’’

The class tittered. Our daughter was pretty disgusted. But she’s a kidder and an actress.

She leaned forward conspiratorially, and said, ‘’Fenetre.’’

The kids all beamed. No doubt ‘’fenetre vous’’ resonated down the halls that day.

Only thing is, ‘’fenetre’’ means ‘’window.’’ It was the only French word she could think of that started with an ‘’f.’’

Prayer request: A friend's daughter-in-law named Chris has just been diagnosed with a form of skin cancer. At least it’s not melanoma, but she’s awfully young to be dealing with this. Oh, Father, guide the hands of her doctor in stopping the disease, for her good and Your glory. (Psalm 78:72)
