My grandparents spoke Cajun French but didn't teach their children or grandchildren because they used it to talk in front of the kids without any of us knowing what they were saying. It's a little disconcerting to hear your name spoken in the middle of a conversation you have no clue about.

Exactly. My grandparents on one one side and great grandparents on both sides spoke fluent Cajun French in front of us but never bothered passing it down.
What was I supposed to do as a 4 year old besides just sit there and listen to their French jibberish as they drank coffee at 9pm?
