Amusing....

Here I am waiting for my accent to soften, and what happens yesterday?  I was talking about tomatoes on my sandwich and said, as I do, "to-may-toes".  And, then Jamie - without thinking about it - said it that way, instead of his normal "to-mah-toes"!  LOL.  It just slipped out, he wasn't making fun of me.  He said, "Dammit, it's to-mah-toes, not bloody to-may-toes!"  We both laughed and I said, 'It's not supposed to happen that way!  You are supposed to soften my accent, not the other way around!' 

My 6 year old nephew speaks to me in an American accent and to his mum in his normal Scots way!

After just a month's time in the UK, one of my sons (3 1/2 at the time) picked up a "to-mah-to" at the grocery store. Probably because I don't eat them, so they mostly heard Dimitri saying the word with his accent.

it is funny my boyfriend starts to pick up my accent as well....i think i got a bit of his, but mostly, he picks up on mine...it is so funny, he is not taking this too well...

At the beginnign of last century, some doctor (cant recall his name) adopted a baby monkey and let him play with his 5 year old son, the idea was to see if the monkey would learn to act human.

instead the boy started to act like a monkey.

goes to show you ....

i have heard my beloveds nagging voice its quite benign i think haha

Well, Jamie is noticing my accent softening more than I am noticing it.  But, that is all well and good....that's the way it's supposed to happen!  I keep dropping the g's off of things, like: somethin' instead of my "proper/perfect" somethinG!  hehehe
