When I was walking down the hall I spotted a student I had last year. This was our conversation.
Me: “Wow, Olivia, that is a BRIGHT Florida sweatshirt! Have you been to Florida?”
Olivia: “Yep, I went down there on spring break. It was SO hot. I got frenched!
wait a minute..........

Je n'vais pas a la bibliotheque avec moi c'est sior, n'est pas?
I am not going to the library with you tonight, am I?
Dorky line in English, but it sounds cool in French.
Hi, I have been following your blog for a while, am a newcomer here and dont know too many yet...but your blog I read without fail. I love to read your posts cos you got such great sense og humor!! In this day many people lack it you know! Am sure you are a great teacher too!! Good luck to you!!
Those kids are just too darn cute.
Yep.. I get frenched every day here in Florida. I know just how she feels!
Oh dear!
She possibly did....
Maybe "Frenched" has changed its meaning?
so does the mean if I use "frenched" I'll be thought of as "cool" by all the kids????
How did you respond to that?!
I'm curious as to what the "new" meaning of frenched is?
Did she mean "Fried"?
I live in France. I'm just trying to imagine getting Frenched.
That's pretty funny.
At least she didn't get 'freedomed'
Hmmm I have never heard this before. But from the comments above she meant fried?
Or drenched? So funny!
Who knows though, I'm always thinking those kids keep looking younger and younger.
Is that like being french fried?
I love it when it's that hot!
She was a KINDERGARTNER last year?
Frenched as in fried or Frenched as in kissed? She certainly left you with you mouth agape I'll bet.... LOL

(wondering if her mother said, "wait a minute", also)
I'm gonna start using that term!
LOL....I'm heading to FLORIDA!!!! I hope they ain't done with all that Frenching stuff!
I do hope that little girl just meant "fried".
Are you going to miss all the kiddies this summer? Ya know... you could sign up to teach summer school.
I got frenched in Florida once. It still itches.
LOL, nice.
At least she didn't say she got "Amsterdamed."
(no, I'm not sure what that would entail either - maybe some pot and a lesbian? It's all good.)
Wow, they start young these days. I didn't get frenched until high school.
:)
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Huh?
So you're saying I need to keep my two OUT of Florida? Okay, gotcha! I'm about to go cancel the word Disney from their brains ...
You had me at "Parlez-vous français?"
Love YOU!!!!
LOL!! Oh my goodness!
Oh... it's about location! I guess I'm off to Florida!
lol
Wow! Florida never sounded so good until now!
Oh yeah, I remeber my first french on spring break in Florida...
Epais avec un gout riche ressemblant au caramel.
That would totally make phrase of the day in my classroom.
xxxooo
I'm clueless here, help me out!
Screw Florida, I'm going to France!
Did she need ketchup?
Oh God, Capt Dumbass is from Canada, and they've all got this wierdo habit of speaking French there, right? Holy crap...
Watch out for them Canadians, Vodka...
Excuse me, we call them Freedom Fries now.

I was thinking that I wanted to get frenched, too. Then I realized that I don't want that at all. I want to be freedomed.
I don't know why, but Marinka thinks it's important and I am THAT impressionable.
So... I'm going to Mexico in another week. What am I gonna get there? I need to know so I can be prepared.
Hey just showing some love for the funny... New to this blogging thing but it is interesting... Keep up the good work and I will be back to check up on new posts. Take Care TTYL.
Better French'd than mustard'd or hot doggied...
Vodka can you PLEASE guide Blognut??? Goddamn, we can't let her go alone without training....
I uh, wow.
I am so going to steal that line! Not sure where I can use it, but I love it.
i took french in high school but all i remember is "ferme la bouche" (shut your mouth) and a rock is feminine and verde is either green or wednesday...
smiles, bee
xoxoxoxoxooxxoxoxo
ronnie rock was gay so i remember rock was feminine. ps.
Sometimes my mother wanders down to Florida and bothers the kids.
Bit young for getting Frenched isn't she? Bwahahahahahaha. You crack me up.
Have a terrific day. :)
Hey~ I asked one of my 4th graders to give me 5 with her left hand. She picked the wrong one.
THen? She told me how she had 2 horses, named them, then told me she had 2 horses, including her grandma's pony and held up 3 fingers. I had to leave before my brain popped.
Down in Florida, we get frenched all the time. It's like big hair in Texas..
I've already been here once today, but Braja commands and I listen :)
I'm supposed to do something to kick start your laughter gene with some jokes and expressions of love. Hmm. Shall I read you some sonnets from Romeo and Juliet?! Nah. Knock-knock jokes?! Nope. Ask for you hand in marriage? Suzy's already done that. Hmm. Dance around to MC Hammer like a fool until oatmeal falls on my head? Did that last week... I'm sorry VM. I got nothin'
I hope, though, that whatever has taken your laughter is gone from your life quickly. Take some quiet time and just breathe and relax and let it come back :)
Oh lordie! If only she knew!
Blognut, if you drink the water in Mexico, you just might get Montezuma's Revenge or Swine Flu! Might be hard to tell the difference.
Shit! Kindergarteners get to go on spring break now too!??!
wow! I have to add that to my vocabulary!!
I hate getting Frenched. I wish they would keep their French hands off me.
I got frenched in Florida, too! And I didn't even get a crummy sweatshirt out of the deal!!!
;)
Braja is forwarding everyone to you today. What the hell is going on in "Oregon"? Do I need to come over and slap some silly into you? Laugh, girl, laugh! There has got to be something slightly amusing to your day! And school is almost out for summer! Yippee!
If this didn't work, drink vodka with a straw!
I really have lived in France tooo long. I LOVE mayo on my fries now:)
What is it with kids today? Growing up too fast, if you ask me...
Funny, you have the best stories. You always put a smile on my face.
I don't know how you keep a straight face - I'm afraid I would have busted out laughing!
Pookie! I just came from Braja's site and she says you're down in the dumps? I'm hating it for you, having just gone on that shitty excuse for a vacation from life. Seriously, I was sharpening knives and thinking bad thoughts - it was ugly. Just know I love you, okay?
Love and top shelf vodka,
the Tapdancer
I was going to try it out on my teenagers and report back, but since I'm getting "lamer" by the minute in their eyes, maybe not. Tant pis!
I sincerely hope that she meant that she got DRENCHED. Maybe from the ocean?? Or a ride at Disney or Universal Studios....
Heh - please please tell me some sensible agent has you putting all these in a book by now? x
Sounds good to me.
I am over here because a little bird said you were feeling a bit low, and then I read that you were sorry for your feelings because you weren't in a life-threatening state...
Low mood and depression are life-threatening, you nincompeep - Know (please) that you are loved and adored, and that you are a fabulous mother and teacher, and wife and digger, and friend and foe (heaven forfend that I'm ever a foe, but I'd place money that you'd be the best there is - As you are a friend, my dahlink!), and daughter, and sister, and... sick yet??!
You are you and we love you - Be strong, be held by us, and know that you are loved and admired for your strength and your beauty (and your ability to mix strong drinks, obviously!!) Fhi xox
oh hell no. that was beautiful.
That's a good one
I don't know if you are into these things, but I have something waiting for you at my blog!
Ms. Vodka,
HAVE FAITH! And go rent something that will make you laugh your ass off.
xo
I thought you taught kindergarten.
Wow, they grow up fast, don't they?
Bahahahahahaha!
Hm. Clearly that is where hubby and I need to go on our next vacation!
Sorry, don't get it, and I lived in Paris for 15 years.
Dude. She had her hair braided. That's her story and she's sticking with it.
Yeah, I'm a little clueless as well!
You made me remember a very funny story. Of course I blogged it and linked to you.
