It was a joke.
I am actually half French Canadian but my dad had us raised English only, and now I’m trying to relearn it.
It sucked going to my grandfather’s funeral and the extended family thought I was my cousin’s friend because I didn’t speak French.

It made me angry. This is the sign of an excellent joke. Bien joué l’ami ! (l’ami, la mie, pun intended :))
