Here's something annoying. When I was filling out paperwork for the ski club, the French woman said to me, with a big smile on her face " Do you know what the name La Barge means in French? " I knew that it was a) a small black bird of some type and B) a windmill of some sort, but she said no, " it means a silly girl"...WHAT? She was serious, she thought it was so funny that here I was with the name La Barge...a silly girl, sitting right in front of her. I have never heard that before, ever.
Me, being me, I began to try to convince her that I was not a silly girl, but then again, sometimes I am, so I gave up.
"Oh that Caroyl, she's a La Barge. " "Don't pay any attention to her, she's just a La Barge." "Stop being a La Barge! "
All these years, I might as well have had a last name like Baffoon or Imbecile , it would have been the same thing. It's making me look back at my life differently. ...and the other La Barge's, well, there are actually quiet a few silly ones of them, but they would be more Le Barge's than La Barge 's. You know who you are!
