French flashback

[susandennis]

I was just on hold to Bank of America (yep, again - wonder how much of my life has been spent this year on hold to Bank of America?? hmmmm) anyway, they were playing a French Christmas carol that I hadn't heard in years.

In high school, I sucked at French (along with most everything else) but also like everything else there it was an excellerated course of study. We were taught it all. (Even though I sucked at it, when I got to college, I was immediately placed in advanced classes and I wasn't totally lost.) Come Christmas time, we ate French Christmas cookies and sang French Christmas carols. I don't remember merde of my French and would not have thought I had any of those carols in my memory either.

But, the music was an instrumental version and I discovered that I remembered all the words....

And, I have finally been added to my Mom's Bank of America credit card so now when they screw up, I can just pick up the phone, get on hold and, eventually, find out what the problem is.
