(in French class, talking about a text we read)
Dr. Steegar: Vrai ou faux: il faut beaucoup d'argent pour réussir un menu. (A lot of money is necessary to succeed at putting together a menu (basically).)
Ryann: Faux, parce que le papier n'est pas cher. (False, because paper isn't expensive.)
*the class laughs*
Ryann: What?...No seriously, I don't get it.
Me: Un menu is like..the food you eat, not the piece of paper.
Dr. Steegar: La carte is an actual piece-of-paper menu.
Ryann: Oh...OH! Okay. Never mind.
Strangest questions in that class!! I'm French, and even I would have been like, "Uhm.... *crickets crickets crickets*"! :D
