Le Pan

So was this weekend over. Fast as ususal. Didnt do that much, enjoyed the global warming hot weather. Cut my hair, ate ate and ate. Saw "New in town" with Renee Zellweiger, and ran in to another movie afterwards -"taken" with Liam Neeson.
Renee's movie was okej. Easygoing comedy. Liam's one, whoa. U left the theatre feeling mighty bad after. Its was about trafficing of women. Enough said. Horrible! But i recommend u to see that movie!

Also made a rather stupid thing i neded to tell you about. The importance of "Le" and "La" in french.
Annie- Davids mama called
-Johanna?
-OUI!!" my pitch was high. Damn it.
Then i tried to explain that David was out buying bread.
So how come that Annie thought David was buying a rabbit?
I'll explain
-"Il achete LA PAN" I said.

But thats where it all became so wrong. You see, La Pain is pronounced the same way as Lapin, wich means bunny.
What i should have said was Le Pain. LE PAIN!! Bread is masculine!! LE LE LE
She asked what colour it was. Noir...Brun....Blonde....?
Ehhh...colour of the bread, well, he usually buys baguette which is "blonde" So Blonde i said.

Anyway, Annie got very excited and started talking about Gaelles bunny Nelson, and that i needed to talk to her.
THATS when i suspected it. Thats when is tarted to rewind the whole conversation in my head. La Pan=Lapin, was it black, brown, blonde. It was blonde. Oh yes, of course!!!

Anyway. I tried to explain to Gaelle my mistake, but im not sure she understood me either :-)
I was just laughing all the time when i hung up. And then when my hubby came home, i had to explain to him, that his mama thought he has been out buying a rabbit. Hahaha....
Of course, he called her after breakfast and explained that wasnt the case :-)

Oh yes. The important of the Le and the La.

Kisses::: LA BOTCHOW
