His Smile Instantly Fell

When we go to France to visit my family and friends, since my husband does not speak French, I’m constantly talking in English with him. People assume we don’t understand them. The worst thing that happened to us was in a restaurant. The waiter happily brings menus “‘Ello, ‘ere are our menus in Engliche for you!”

That’s when I asked in French for a French one and leave the English one for my husband. He went all pale, the smile had faded real quick. I had some suspicion so I compared both menus; the English was slightly more expensive. Nanmercy
