Oneday when I went home to stuff myself, B came up to me and asked "hobbes, what is fianse ?" "fianse" I replied. "is hmm... someone who is engaged and is going to marry him(her) soon enough." (Of course proudly :-) ) "But I can't find it in the dictionary." "Hey! B! I suggest you consult the dictionary again." (Of course mt dear readers, you may now understand that fianse and fiance can't be discriminated by pronunciation.) After 5 minutes, B came up to me again and shouted, "Hey!! hobbes ! I was wrong with the spell... Why didn't you tell me fianse is f-i-a-n-c-e not f-i-a-n-s-e." "My dear B... The more difficult it is for you to find a word, the easier you can remember it.. ok ?? hahaha." She silently said "hobbes, you should know yourself first." "Why ?" "Why ? Last time you tricked me into finding a word meaning [someone who is supposed to marry] and it meant nothing." "Nothing ?? what do you mean ?" "What do you mean ? The word you referred was [fiance] but you told me [fianse] was correct. You wrote that on my notebook." Alas!!! My ignorance always fails me.... Why I wrote that word on her notebook? I promptly defended myself by saying "Oh!!!! I forgot!! There must be some misunderstanding here... fianse is a French.. and fiance is English. so I confused ... right ? hehehe" She again said silently with smile. "hobbes, do you know what kind of disciplines I learn in school ?" "No.. what?" "Korean, English, Math, Housekeeping, Arts, Music, and.... the most important thing is.... French." ^^^^^^ The last word struck me so hard... :P Oops... she knew fiance was French... So my golden days of tricking my sisters were gone forever from then on.. And I had to buy her Pizza for that... (Oh ! my money!!) |
