So I was over at my folks for a short visit last week with the kids when I happened to notice that my Mom keeps watching the French channel. When I asked her why she said, "Your sister married a Frenchman, so I need to learn French."
Me - By watching the French news?
Mom - Yes, same like English. How you think I learn good English? From watching TV.
Me - Riiiiiiiight.
Later on that night, I come home to find my Mom still watching TV, but something has changed.
Me - I thought you said you was trying to learn French?
Mom - I am.
Me - Then why are you watching the Italian news?
Mom - Italian? Waaaaaaaah? No wonder I don't know what they talking about!
Me - Riiiiiiiight.

Here's to your mom -- the lead swimmer in the family's gene pool of humor!
I love your Mom. Will you share her?
Oh my word that's hysterical!
Actually, French, Spanish & Italian are all relatively close, linguistically. I took High School Spanish & my friend took Italian. We were still able to converse together in our respective languages. It wasn't until I started learning Welsh (one of the oldest surviving languages on the planet,) that my brain rebelled completely & said, "You've GOT to be KIDDING me!"
Oh my gosh! That was too funny!

Your mom is great! Too funny.
you do know that we all, eventually, turn into our moms, right? hee!
Your poor mom! I know how she feels!
We were in Nicosia, Cyprus, during a recent holiday, and my daughter and I happened to overhear a conversation between two people. I told my youngest kid that it sounded a lot like Turkish and she looked at me like I was nuts and said, "Mom, it IS Turkish."
AHAHAHAH!
She's a cutie!
:-)
LOL! That's hysterical!!!!!! :0)
