maybe I'm just jealous I can't conjugate a sentence anymore

At the pool I go to, there's this family who speaks French. I don't mean they're francophone. I mean, for whatever reason, they just speak French to their children, loudly, and with a 'Baltimore' accent.

Mowneek dee que too ay silly.

Apray tu a feenee, too peut m'accompanyay owh vwachoor.

Their fluency wasn't bad, but even the kids had terrible accents, and kids pick up languages well. I don't know, I can see the draw of raising bilingual kids, but it seems a bit pretentious to do it loudly, in public, when it's obvious you're not a native speaker. Like you're trying to prove to the other Dickinson pool-goers that even eating a Screwball from the snack bar is a culturally enriching experience for your family.
