Your say - Lost for words 3l126w

Very dead 1t692x

I met a lady that used to run a restaurant that we frequented. She had lost her husband the previous week, and I was trying to be sympathetic when I said Il est très mort. I meant to say C'est très triste !, it is very sad. My husband poked me in the back before I said anything else. But it wasn't untrue what I said: he was very dead.
