A week or two ago, the nanny told us about an incident that had occurred in the hall of her apartment building when they had met a neighbour. Our girl was wearing this:

The neighbour: “C’est un beau chapeau!” (“What a nice hat!”)

Our girl: “C’est pas chapeau!” (“That’s not a hat!”)

The neighbour, amused: “Oh pardon, c’est un beau bonnet!” (“Oh sorry, what a nice bonnet!”)

Our girl: “C’est pas bonnet!” (“That’s not a bonnet!”)

The neighbour, confused: “Alors, qu’est-ce que c’est sur ta tête?” (“Well, what are you wearing on your head?”)

Our girl: “Vache!” (“A cow!”)

(Isn’t that obvious?)
