Mal?
Okay, just saw the episode on ANTV where Mallory had to have tutor hired by her parents to help her with her grade in French. Her mother does refer in this episode to her as "Mal" which as I remember her family and friends often did.
Okay, I admit, my French is deplorable: but wouldn't this be the time for the tutor to bring up that "mal" means "bad" or "disease" in French?
I can't be the only one who noticed this, and it could have made quite of funny sub-plot. Mallory, " Mom don't call me that!"
