Some good clean fun?! [Archive 1]

My Dh swears in German

[a_stitchintime]

Joanne! a conversation must be lots of fun at your house!

 

Colleen - My grandmother always swore in French when I was a kid. The first french I learned was "shut your mouth"

[miss scarlet]

Stacy me too LOLOL

[_Stacy_]

Sounds kind of like "Aye!"

 

My grandma used to swear in Polish. I so wish she would have taught me to speak before she passed.

[miss scarlet]

When Dh swears in German I say right back at you

[imanurse55]

Isn't Shannon the one that wanted to chat Wednesday night?? LOL

 

She must be all talked out from the last 2 nights with LeaAnne on Mon and Colleen on Tuesday....and must have forgotten that DH was coming home.....lol

[Colleenka]

Ayuh, that helps LeaAnne That's kinda like eh but on the opposite side of the sentence. Interesting. I've never met someone from Maine I guess.

When Dh swears in German I say right back at you

:lolGood for you Mary!

[Colleenka]

Yes, we take French all the way through school here but most of us only remember the bad words.

[_Stacy_]

LoL Mary! At least I can say it right back to him. Of course, it is with a "white girl" voice, as he so lovingly calls it. I just cannot roll my r's.

 

It's too bad Shannon couldn't be here. It's too funny that she forgot dh was coming home. Maybe he came home early?

[Colleenka]

Stacy, I'd offer to find out some Polish swear words for you, but I wouldn't even begin to know how to spell them

 

Our friends are Italian and they speak Italian all the time when they don't want the kids to understand. I am so jealous of that...that's brilliant!

[imanurse55]

DH studied Italian last year- he always wanted to learn- so he took Italian ---so he is probably cursing at me when he says some words. I was never good at languages- my oldest DD was- she knows French and studied Russian:l

[Colleenka]

Do your girls speak Spanish with their Dad, Stacy?

[miss scarlet]

My kids all understand German and they speak a little. I understand German also, I understand most of a conversation

[imanurse55]

Oh, they should become bilingual- I always wished I had learned a language when I was younger-they say that is the best time to learn.

[imanurse55]

Yankees win------theeeeeee Yankees win 10-2...(wish Vicki was here- she would get my John Sterling impersonation!)

[_Stacy_]

Wow, Joanne, that is impressive.

A girl in our Mommy and Me class speaks English, Russian, and French (Dad is French, Mom is Russian) and she is only 3! I wish dh would teach our kids.

[Colleenka]

for your Yankees Joanne.

[imanurse55]

Just heard the Yankees are heading to Toronto to play the Blue Jays- oh, the rivalry, Colleen---and I'll be in Boston over the weekend and get stuck watching the Red Sox with DD!!

[_Stacy_]

No Colleen- he is convinced that they won't learn properly if I speak English and he speaks Spanish. His parents speak to them and they know a couple of phrases (mostly commands) but I really wish he would teach them. It would be so helpful, especially where we live.

[imanurse55]

Oh, Stacy- that would be awesome-ness if he would teach them- tell them that one of your Besties think it would be great ( as if that would matter:lol )

[a_stitchintime]

sorry... I was just talking with DH about Tuesday, and tucking in DS... for the 3rd time:sigh

 

Colleen - see? now you've met someone from Maine:clap

 

Joanne - DH thinks he will be "in the office" (his office is at home) on tuesday, but can't promise me yet:angry I'll pm you by the end of the week with my phone number, ok? I am sooo excited!

 

hmmm... Languages. I :manyheartthem! I took 4 years of Latin, 2 years of Spanish and 1/2 year of German in high school. I wanted to major in languages in college, but couldn't imagine a career that would keep me close to home, so I gave up on it. Who knew you could work online as a translator?

[irishrose]

Hi again, I'm back. What are we talking about?

[Colleenka]

Kids pick it up so easily. Even if he just talked to them in Spanish they'd pick it up. They have Saturday morning classes here for kids to learn their parent's language and culture. Most kids can speak what their parents speak, but this helps them learn to write. I think that's so cool.

[a_stitchintime]

yeah, where is that mysterious Vicki? she said she would be here, too.

 

and I think Shannon's DH came home early:( she was too excited about this!
