"...et ils grandissent leurs mentons doubles!"

Yes, that interesting quotation (which translates to "and they grow their double chins!") is the brain child of one of my French 2 Honors presentation groups, who put together restaurant scenes in lieu of a test for their current chapter. This class of 12 takes their French studies a bit more seriously than my other sections, so I was reticent to introduce a project like this to them. However, they embraced the concept and execution with good humor and produced excellent and hilarious results. Thanks to one of Ms. Boudreau's Flip camcorders, I was able to capture their comedic gems on film for you. Enjoy! (and forgive the occasional camera shake as I try to control my laughter...)
