mom says she brought home different types croissant...

me:  'it's krwä-ˈsäⁿ, mom...'
(i took french classes in college, btw)

mom:  'i know...  but then if i pronounce it that way we'd just go 'what? - krwä-ˈsäⁿ - what ma'am? - that one' so better just say kroysant, she understood my order right away...'
