Nice to see a humble French man for a change. And he deserves a lot of credit for his level of English. Puts the mono-linguists to shame.

Years ago I had the pleasure of teaching English in Spain. In a moment of inspiration I asked a small group of 11-15 year old Spaniards to prepare a 2 minute synopsis of a Harry Potter character. I started with the oldest kid and he told me all about Hermione. Boring. The next revealed all about Hogworts. Mildly interesting. And then it was time for the class swat to tell me all about Harry Potter.

She was the youngest in the group. 11, pigtails, glasses with lenses so thick you needed good eye sight to see through them, and as quiet as a church mouse. She starts, Harry Potter is a nice boy, and has a friend called Hermione, and a dog called Fuck. She had my attention. I asked her to repeat it just in case her accent had got the better of her.

Harry Potter is a ...... and has a dog called Fuck

To make sure my ears hadn't waxed over, chalk in hand, I asked her to spell the name of the dog. With a deadpan face she starts,

F- U-

I quickly rubbed the letters off the board and asked if anyone knew the name of this damned dog. Some grinning 15 year old said it was Fang and the older ones erupted into hysterics. The little girl was still sat there, expressionless, until her neighbor whispered to her what she had said, and thankfully the innocent went as red as a beetroot. That was a good day for all.
