One of Bill's favorite's is "C'est la guerre." which he has translated into English for the kids.

Recently, Charles was whining about something and Bill said, "You know what the French say, Charles."
 |
| Maria had time to pose as she was ahead of the other bikers. |
Charles sighed and said, "Yes, they say 'Man up.'"
 |
| Bill and Thomas came next, and I missed Anthony. |
Charles looked at me in surprise and asked, "Do they really say that?" We don't say that in our family.
"Yep," I said, "They just say it in a snotty French accent."

Bill says he does not have a copyright on these little gems, so you may use them as you please.

Love the pictures! I was hoping this post was the announcement of the bouncing baby!
What a great post! I love all things disparaging to the French! People don't realize how much joy a good dislike of the French can bring to your life. I recommend it to everyone.
So four years of French and I didn't get it. I was thinking Bill was taking them on a war adventure?? (nope, no coffee yet). I had a very Amelia Bedelia approach to my translation. I must have failed the section on idiomatic expressions. Sipping coffee now and get it. I think I need to say "I don't care" in French too. Glad Bill doesn't have a copyright on it!
Love the post.
And congratulations on your new addition: Baby Dominic!
