The day of the owl was the day I had to drive carpool. The young young girl who sat next to me in the passenger seat had french as her first class. We were going to be late getting her there so we could take the owl (who was on her lap at said time) to the bird sanctuary.
As we drove, i figured we should practice her 'story' for the class.
We got as far as 'Ce matin, j'ai vue un voiture frape un....un???'
Hey?! What was "OWL" in french?? We both knew it, really, but could NOT recall what it was!
We continued to draw a blank....so off the cuff, i throw out "Hey Isaac....what's 'owl' in french?"
He looks up from his DS totally unimpressed to be interupted and says with total deadpan face
"Hibou"

And what a coincidence that this is what Elliot made that morning in preschool!
