A father and his son are on the beach.

Oh dad, look at the beautiful boat.

The father answers:

Son, it's not a boat but it's a yacht!

Oh yes, and how is it written?

Uh ..., wait ... no, you're right, it's a boat!

Thats what happens with bad translations. The punch line is that the father could'nt spell 'YACHT'. Can you figure how it got goofed?

It's not French, but English, you have difficulty to comprehend?

You'll (you will) find that the apostrophe is a substitute for a letter. So the father "couldn't" (could not ) spell.

Might as well admit from the start that you don't know, and look for an answer so your kid can be proud of you for explaining it right?
