Happy Birthday, Fiona!
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Oh, thank you, Sue.
Allyson said that I talked faster in English after being a couple of days in the USA. She even mocked me for speaking fast while describing how very fast other people talked in English. I didn't feel the difference because, well, it was me, but I definitely take her word for it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday Fiona!

Happies to Fiona.
There's a reason that "pas devant les enfants" was the first foreign phrase I learned...
My grandparents, who were old-school about such things, used to speak French to each other in front of us. But some of my cousins are French-Canadian, so my grandparents would spell (in English) in front of those children. When you put the two sets of children together, and my sister old enough to spell reasonably, my grandparents ran out of options for speaking devant les enfants.

Happy Fiona Day!
I'm very envious of people who grow up speaking two languages. It's such a great gift to give your kids.

My parents never spoke French in front of me. Except when they were speaking to French people. It helps that my mother doesn't speak French.
