So this was it...a guest in his own house.
He heard a loud beeping noise, but it faded away. After a while, he grew bored and turned on the old TV they left in there for company.
The newscaster was speaking complete gibberish. He changed the channel. An episode of an old sitcom...he couldn't understand a word.
He turned it off and rushed downstairs to where his sister Zoe was sitting on the couch. "Say something," he said.
She looked at him, confused, and spouted a couple of words he didn't understand.
"Zoe, this isn't funny!"
She paused, and then replied, very slowly, "Why you speak in French?" She was only a Freshman, and had only been taking French for a few months.
"I"m not speaking in French, I don't even know French." He'd been taking Spanish.
"You speak in French," she said, awkwardly.
"Merde," he muttered.
