    So let me make sure I got this. U want to learn French so you can curse the kids out and make them think you are verbally sexing them ??!!??

    I knew he was swearing when he threw that out but I had no idea it was just a bunch of random shyt..LOL!! That was my favorite part of the movie. Funny you even mentioned it.
    Anyway, I’m originally from Canada so I HAD to take french. Guess what?..I know not 1 word of it now. *lol*…you know why? cause I HATED IT!!! Shyts hard as hell to learn and backwards as fikk! I prolly hated it cause I was forced to take in in high school when all I cared about were boys and whether or not I could get away with skipping class that day. I love to hear it though…it’s the learning part I loathe.
