Yesterday was Sunday so just like the great one I too took a day of rest. Sunday for us is also test day.
It's not just moi that needs to get speaking this tricky lingo. So too do the hubbie and four boys. The youngest two have a bit of a leg up as they attend a French school. The eldest not so and their apathy towards acquiring said skill partly contributes to my disappointment with their establishment of not so great learning.
So to help us all we have a verb of the week and we have to learn four tenses of chosen verb. The winner gets to chose a four course meal of their choice and the loser gets to be footman and scullery maid for this grand repast, too much Downton peutêtre.
Last week Alec was the lucky one poor Elliot the not so. The carrot and the stick it has to be. Does it work? Well put it this way Elliot may not be choosing this weeks supper but neither is he tidying up. That not so pleasant task will be left to the eldest. Unfortunately it often is, genes will out poor Tom.
Suffice to say I like to ensure I never have to, as I mentioned at the beginning of post, everyone deserves one day off.
La semaine prochaine,
We revisit aller.
