Substitution

by carolynholm

Cher Madame,
Il faut dire, the dinner last night was excellent! Madame she has surpassed herself.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I’m so glad you liked it! I wasn’t sure you would.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Moi, I can’t imagine why Madame would not be sure. C’était delicious.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
We had a little problem last night. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Un problem? What kind of problem???????
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It was necessary to make a substitution. Due to an inventory oversight.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Et this oversight was what, exactement?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
We ran out of cat food, and I thought I had more in the supply cupboard but it turned out to be, well, dog food there.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
You gave us DOG FOOD????????
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Sorry. I had no choice. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
But, vraiment, dog food? C’est un insult to cats everywhere.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
But you two really tucked into it.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Ouf. We were hungry an hour later.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Nothing’s perfect.
Love, Carolyn
