Dormez-vous?

"Dormez-vous? Are you sleeping?"
August 26th, 2010

Okay, so....YOU CAN'T BLAME ME FOR THIS ONE. IT WAS INEVITABLE. I mean, c'mon. It's just TOO perfect!!!!!!!

Ahem *cough* So....the idea for this came one day when my little baby sister started singing "Frere Jacques." And it hit me, because it was just far too perfect. I mean, they're TEMPLARS!!! So they're like, monk-knights, so they're like, monkish brothers, and they're also FRENCH MONKISH KNIGHTS and so like, Jacques' name is JACQUES! The logic is IRREFUTABLE.



Don't look at me like that. IT IS!!!!! YOU CAN'T DENY IT.

*ahem*

I only thought of this later, but I realized part of the inspiration for this came from my own family life. Two of my sisters (my twin and one of my younger sisters) often do this. That is, my twin will be trying to sleep (and she is jealous of her slumber. ) while my other sister will often burst into our room with a loud rousing chorus of some musical or another. And hence, Jacques' reply is very similar to my twins'. Enjoy.
