Last night at dinner, I laughed so hard I almost fell over. My host mother is an artist and she goes to painting classes. The painting she did today was on the counter and it was of frogs, flowers, and. lilypads. I asked Olivier how to say “lilypad” in French, but he thought I said “it’s really bad.” For about 10 minutes after that he was talking about how the painting was really bad. I asked him what he was talking about and he said “Isn’t that what you said?” I said, “No, I asked how to say lilypad.” He didn’t know that word in English so after I explained what it was in the painting, everyone else at the table said what it was. (I can’t remember what it was right now) It was SOO funny!!!!
