My humor of the day is Hannah developing an accent- an Australian/English one. She says she just can't help it! I understand completely as I find a random accent slip in my conversations every once and a while! However, I remind Hannah that we too have accents to everyone and she says that she wants to be different (different from who she is a similar to those around her). We remind her that she is different and special especially being a kiddo from Colorado- I think there is four total (a really high percentage)! Either way she will progress through being who she is, fighting against who she is and settling on who she always has been!
I wonder how Mike's first day went, speaking of accents? I made reservations for dinner tonight and had a very short conversation and struggled tremendously! My five minute convo must be so miniscule to Mike's ten hour day of "accents"! There was an interesting comment made from people we met here who giggled about how almost everyone here speaks (broken yet appreciated) English which is fabulous and definitely not expected but when you go to the US people only speak Spanish- interesting comment.
As always to be continued. ..
