Thursday, July 17, 2003 Des Grenouilles It's incredible to think of how much sleep I haven't gotten this week thanks to the day camp, but it definitely breeds some funny stories. Today two girls (remember, they're between 5 and 8 years old) caught frogs during recess; the little hoppers were only about an inch long apiece. Realizing that their new pets would need to eat, the girls happily caught a lightening bug as well. The bug was about the same size as the frogs. Another addition to the list of interesting translations: "I have a frog in my throat." In French, this translates to "J'ai un chat dans ma gorge," or "I have a cat in my throat." Cats, frogs, it's all the same, right? (Watch out, those cats can be dangerous, especially when they get stuck in throats and have to claw their way out and the throat gets all bloody and full of cat hair... ok, that was more than a little wierd.) Though I do find it amusing to discover that expression exists in another language. Perhaps English (or as the British like to say, "American") isn't so strange after all. ^ Top | 11:59 PM | | |
