In school they started teaching us French early since we're in Northeastern New York not far from Canada. And we USED to get many French Canadian visitors in the summers here. When I was in school I had a summer job at a terrific amusement park. And in class we had to pick a French name and being kind of a wiseass, I chose the name Antoinette. I actually ran into my old French teacher at my summer job, she was there with her husband and she had two little girls. When she saw me she shouted "Antoinette!" and we had a nice visit.
