Tonight was a good night with my host family. I think this will be one of the things I'll miss the most about France, eating dinner with my host family. Tonight's dinner was extremely funny. Eliott as usual made us all laugh. The first thing was him scolding me for not being polite. I typically say "non merci" when I don't want something so a few nights ago when I said this he asked "C'est quoi non merci?' (what is no thank you?). My host mom and dad said its a polite way to say no thank you to something someone doesn't want. This kid is smart and picks up on things very quickly. So tonight, I forgot to add the merci part after no and all of a sudden Eliott decided to scold me and say "tu dois dire non merci" (you have to say no thank). Mind you, this came out of nowhere and I had no idea that he heard me. He definitely put me in my place and it was hilarious. We all laughed at this. Usually he is the one being scolded at not me! haha
My host dad and Eliott were being adorable as usual. Whenever Eliott was laughing he would open his mouth real wide for a good 15 seconds without making any noise. At first, I was wondering what he was doing and if he was about to cry or if he was pooping. He was indeed laughing. It was the strangest thing to see his mouth open and no noise coming out. That made everyone laugh even harder and that gave me hiccups. It was very funny.
To end the night, I decided to watch a movie with my host family. It was a french comedy called Didier. After having watched it, it was the weirdest and stupidest movie ever but it was funny nonetheless. It's one of those upbeat really bizarre movies that you can't hate. Anyways, it was about a soccer coach babysitting his friend's Labrador dog named Didier. Didier ends up turning into a human but still possesses his dog-like mannerisms. Didier is then recruited as a soccer player for a professional team. Throughout the movie, funny events take place one after another. It was ridiculousness. I found it funnier that my host family was cracking up. What kind of comedies are they into?
These are the moments I will miss. They have positively impacted my study abroad experience. I am grateful that I ended up with such a great host family. I will really miss them when I leave in a week.
