This situation was happenned last month in the pharmacy when i wanted to buy toothpaste for my children.

Me : avez-vous un dentifrice pour les enfants? ( feel proud with my french)

Pharmacist : aarrr...errr? Me : dentifrice... ( whilst showing brushing teeth signal)

Pharmacist : DONTIFRICE!!!!

Me : oui..oui...DONTIFRICE... ( aisehh..sekali salah sebut, haisshh)..

Ps : i got 2 entries to post, the problem is always with the time and distraction from the kids.
