First, I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who shared my article on Why Children's Books are Important. I won the contest to have my book, That Mama is a Grouch turned into an animated ebook! I couldn't have done it without you. You guys rock!
Now for the story:
My daughter came home from school yesterday with a big grin on her face. "Mom, you'll never believe what happened."
"What happened?" I asked.
"You know French class?"
I nodded. "Yes. I know French class. What about it?"
"Well, the teacher was blah blah blahing in French, which nobody understood, when somebody butt-dialed their iPod. The Suri app came on. (Suri is the app where you ask her a question, and she responds.) While Madam was talking, Suri interupted, 'I'm sorry. I don't understand. Please try again.'"
(She went on to tell me that the entire class erupted in laughter, and that the Madam took away the iPod. So much for understanding French!)
Oh, there's something to be said for perfect timing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the animated book deal! WOOT!
Thanks! Suri's timing was impeccable!
DeleteVery exciting. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCongratulations Sherry.. nice one,that's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the end result :)
French Teacher must have been miffed!!
I'll let you know when it's available. I can't wait to see what it's going to look like, too!
DeleteAnd yes, the French teacher was not a happy camper!
Congratulations!! An animated eBook is cool.
ReplyDeleteThat is hysterical. Way to go, Suri.
Suri added some levity to the situation!
DeleteSo exciting about the animated ebook! Congrats! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm excited, too!
DeleteThat's hilarious! Congratulations on the e-book.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLove it when someone butt dials me. It's usually a daughter.
ReplyDeleteWhen it happens to me, it's usually one of my kids' friends. ;0)
DeleteCongratulations! And I wish that had happened in my Spanish classes
ReplyDeleteHaha! It was certainly perfect timing!
DeleteCongrats to you. Suri need an upgrade
ReplyDeleteYes. She needs to add French to her lexicon!
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteAnd quite a French class that must have been :)
Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteI am happy children had a good laugh :)
Thank you! Hopefully the French teacher got over it!
DeleteCongratulations, Sherry.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCongratulations Sherry, well deserved. All the best.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thanks, Yvonne!

ReplyDeleteReminds me of Bedazzled
ReplyDeleteAnother great story -- and congratulations on the animated eBook. May the 4th be with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Milo!
DeleteCongrats Sherry :).
ReplyDeleteLOL, I can imagine the eruption of laughter in class.
Thanks! I would've been laughing, too!
Deletecongrats on getting animated! Disney here we come
ReplyDeleteHa! A Grouchy Mama movie? ;)
DeleteCongratulations on winning the contest! That's great news! This is a funny story about French class. I remember that I was put into the accelerated class where the teacher didn't speak English at all. I could have really used Suri then!
ReplyDeleteSuri did good!
DeleteCongratulations on the animated eBook. Wonderful! I love the French story. I can just image the look on the teacher's face. Priceless story.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had been a fly on the wall to see it!
DeleteCongrats! I'd love to see what an animated ebook looks like. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing it, too!
DeleteCongratulations Sherry! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nas!
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteHaha Madam shouldn't be so angry that Siri was confused. Just change the language settings!
Right! A simple solution!

ReplyDeleteSuri is a bit out of the loop, congratulations
DeleteSuri just needed a language update.
DeleteThanks!
Congratulations, Sherry! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny about what happened in French class. The teacher needs to lighten up a little. She could've scored points by laughing along with the students. (But STILL confiscate the iPod until after class...)
She's a rather serious Madam. But yes, I agree, a laugh would've been in order!
