Missing teaching French today for a few reasons. First, my first time teaching FREN 102 began ten years ago this month đ±. Second, my kid insisted this morning on pronouncing âsept, huitâ as âsept, tweet,â and even though thatâs not really liaison, itâs close enough that I could have used it in a lesson. Third, this is the time of year where I could have shown Gad Elmalehâs great âHappy new year!â sketch, which always makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it.

Not sure what I expected less today: To explain the concept of death to my kid or for my kid to grasp the concept well enough to burst into tears.
