Father's Day Wisdom
It seems like most dads have words of wisdom that their kids remember forever.
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."
Charles sighed and said, "Yes, they say 'Man up.'"
Bill said, "Yes, but they also say, "I don't care.'"
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."
The rest of dinner was spent with people trying to say, "I don't care" in bad French accents. :)
Bill says he does not have a copyright on these little gems, so you may use them as you please.
