Sometimes direct translation from French to English doesn't work but it's still cute coming from a 9 yr old.
(A linguistic gem overheard during a phone call to Mana....)
9yr old: 'We had cake for Daddy's birthday. Mommy said it was an 'anniversary' cake because Mommy likes 'leafy' cakes and Daddy likes caramel.'
Hold the branches!
Mommy likes 'milles-feuilles' (called napoleons in Toronto). I had bought a caramel Napoleon cake. La pâte feuilletée is 'flaky' not 'leafy'!
