Today our girl went out with Daddy. When they came home and left the car in our parking garage, she pointed to the fire extinguisher:

“Papa, que c’est que ça ?” (“Daddy, what’s that?”)

“C’est un extincteur. Pour éteindre s’il y a le feu.” (“That’s a fire extinguisher. When there’s a fire, to put it out.”)

“Ben non, tatütata.” (“No, the fire-fighters.”)

Mommy’s note: “tatütata” is the sound of the siren of the German fire-fighters and other emergency vehicles. In France, they go “pimponpimpon”.
(Mind you, when you hear it, it sounds exactly the same.)
