Monjer

A few days ago, Marina said, "Monjer," to me. She seemed very proud of herself.

"I don't know what that is," I replied.

"It's French," she said smiling.

Then the light bulb went off. "Bonjour?" I asked her.

"No, monjer. I learned in singing class."

"Do you mean 'hello' in French?"

"Yes, monjer!"

No matter how hard I tried, she would not accept that the correct pronunciation was not "monjer."

But I shouldn't complain. She has learned something!
