i have no children of my own, and i'd rather not repeat most of the things the cat says, however a friend of mine has a son who is now about 3. when he was just starting to learn his letters, one day he spelled out "chouette" (it means "owl" and is used in slang to mean "nice" or "good") : C, H, O, U, E, T, T, E.
very good, his mother told him, that spells "chouette".
no, her son replied, it spells pigeon.
Since then, when we want to say "it's nice", instead of saying "c'est chouette" we say "c'est pigeon."
