Design Mom Story

Vintage family photos in France.

Design Mom, who is currently living in France, asked her kids for a Blabbergasting story and Ralph reported this one:

I was in French class (which is basically language arts). We were reading a story out loud, and it was my turn to read. Everything was going fine until I pronounced "baiser" like "baisser." This wouldn't have been too big a deal, except the fact that "baiser" can be the F-bomb in French. Oops!

Russian Sugar

Sugar.

What a new missionary wanted to yell across the store to me in Russian: 

"Нам нужно купить сахар." (Nam nuzhno kupitʹ sakhar, or, "We need to buy sugar!")

What he actually yelled:

"Нам нужно купить суку." (Nam nuzhno kupitʹ suku, or, "We need to buy a b!+$h!")
