Lost in Translation

Bridgette is my Construction 3 teacher. Short, curly blonde hair that reminds me of old-school Madonna, pinkish-reddish lipstick, leopard print glasses and a French accent.. She is adorable! Adorable, but a little (a lot) scattered, and sometimes hard to follow. She'll go over one point, then have to back track, and say "Oui, I forgot.." and we'll all be lost.

She was explaining intersecting pleats, and teaching us how to make the pattern, and towards the end, she was folding the paper and slashing and folding and this and that, and we had no idea what was going on. It looked like a big wad of paper and she goes, "And that's it" (include French accent). We were bewildered. Everyone was standing on their stools to get a better look, iPhones poised to take pictures, because apparently we were supposed to have understood what just happened by that point? But mostly, everyone was wide eyed and seemed to be just as confused as I was. I couldn't help but laugh.

Classic moment.
