What’s The French Word For “Macabre”?
(I am in Honors French 3, and we are learning verbs that have to do with love and hate. Our teacher is trying to get us to write a story about love. This all takes place in French. Sophie and Jacques are the story’s characters.)
Teacher: “So, Jacques tries to find Sophie but he can’t, and starts crying. Then what?”
Student #1: “Sophie comes over.”
Teacher: “And asks, ‘Why are you crying?’ And he says, ‘I thought I’d never find you.’ And then what happens?”
Student #2: “Sophie kills Jacques!”
Teacher: “With what?”
Student #3: “A fork!”
Teacher: “How?”
Student #4: “She stabs him in the eye, then the ear.”
Teacher: “So, Jacques falls to the ground, and then what happens?”
Student #5: “Sophie eats Jacques!”
Teacher: “This is in a park… What do the people walking by say?”
Student #6: “They also start eating Jacques! It’s a buffet!”
(We all found this hilarious and couldn’t stop laughing. The teacher called our sense of humor macabre.)
