Not a literal translation but...

much more interesting and funny!

Here was the conversation as we saw the Eiffel Tower on TV this morning when the French Open started on ESPN:

Dad: Do you want to go there someday Shea?
Shea: Yeah!
Dad: You know you have to speak French to go there.
Shea: I can speak French.
Dad: Oh yeah, what can you say??
Shea: Oui.
Dad and Mom: Good Job!!!
Dad: Do you know what it means?
Shea: Yeah, it means when you want to go somewhere and your car is "brokdend" and you don't want to take the bus then you take a taxi.

Mom and Dad: Um.......... Actually, it means yes, but ok........ :-) :-) :-) :-)
