Learn French with FrenchPod101.com! You wake up early one day during your trip to France, and you are excited to start your day. It’s a day just like any other day, except that it also happens to be your birthday! You are hoping your French friends are in a celebratory mood, so you call a few of them and hope to get together with them for dinner at your favorite French restaurant. However, every time you call a friend, they respond in French with, “Oh, tonight’s no good for me, I already have plans.” Throughout the day, you expect your friends to at least call to tell you “Happy Birthday” in French, but oddly, no one seems to remember that it’s your special day. Even though you’ve had twenty-nine of them before, this one is a big one! Finally, the friend traveling with you arrives back at your French hotel and tells you to get ready to go out to eat. Discouraged, you tell her in French, “I just feel like staying in tonight and ordering room service in the hotel.” She replies in French, “I’m not letting you stay home and mope tonight. I picked a good French restaurant on my way back to the hotel. We have to try it out.” You begrudgingly oblige her request, and you trudge off to the French restaurant. Much to your surprise, as soon as you walk in, your friends call out and scream in French, “Surprise!” Your friend laughs and exclaims in French, “Of course we wouldn’t have forgotten your thirtieth birthday!”

Hey Carl!
L’argent comme cadeau, c’est pratique! Money as a present is convenient!
I remember when I was a kid I git a Sega Megadrive, this tells you a lot about how old I am now!
