Are you bilingual?

Just had to share this one. I was helping out in the kindergarten class today, corralling kids and other such 5 year old management stuff.

And the substitute teacher (who doesn't speak french) looked at me funny and asked, "Are you bilingual?" and my son piped up, "No, she's a vegetarian." 'Nuf said.

How confusing.
