Tres Bien Les Enfants
Today Georgie, the 17 month old girl I nanny and I took a French class at the Treehouse Social Club in Beverly Hills.

I took French in middle school and high school. I don’t think I ever received a grade above a C and during my Junior year I had to repeat French 2. Thats right from 5th grade until 11th grade I only made it through two levels of French. During my Junior year my teacher actually said to me “its so annoying to me that you had to repeat my class because now I have to change all my quizes and tests!” She was totally serious and did seem extremely annoyed. I was thinking “bitch, you think I remember your quizes and tests from last year?! hell no.” Instead I just said “I’m sure it can’t be as annoying as having to repeat a class because you didn’t receive the proper instruction the first time.” I 100% considered my high school French teacher to be my nemesis.
Needless to say, the idea of “Baby French” was very appealing to me because I felt it would no doubt be more my speed. Turns out two babies in the class spoke better French than I. Show offs. I also learned that Clown is the same in French and English.
