For example, I was walking my dog through a lovely French park last weekend when a French child walked right up and asked if he could pet my dog in French. Of course, I told him to go ahead. He asked me in French what my dog’s name is, to which I replied, “Sampson.” I guess this must have been some unwritten permission for the little angel to begin bombarding me with one-hundred questions in French about everything under the bloody moon!
