The things they say

When a child reaches the age of acquiring the "Why? Why? Why" syndrome ("Why am I a boy?", "Why is blue blue?", that kind of thing), the exasperated French parent will often answer: "Pour faire parler les curieux" ("To get the curious talking.").
Stan's take on this was rather more off-the-wall: "Pour faire parler l'écureuil" ("To get the squirrel talking").
You couldn't make it up, could you?
