Peter and Gaelle constatnly parrot what they hear. Sometimes they come up with the appropriate slang type saying and take us all by surprise. Tonight Gaelle asked where Kaylin was. She was told that Kaylin was at church. Gaelle LOVES to go to church and so she asked if she was going to eglise. No... just Kaylin. So Gaelle pipes up with,

Either Dean's Creole was really bad or she just didn't feel like speaking Creole.
