On the way home from piano lessons…
Isabella (she’s 7): Daddy, there’s a kid in my class who wasn’t born in America.
Me (attempting to be interested): Really… Where was he born.
Iz: In a country that begins with an “I.” Guess which one.
Me: Ok. Iguanastan.
Iz: Daddy, that not a country.
Me: No?
Iz: Ingland!!!
Me: Well, actually it’s “England,” and it begins with an “E.”
Iz: Whatever… Do you know what language they speak there?
Me: You’re asking me what language they speak in England? Honey, I’m dying… Please tell me.
Iz: British!
(long pause)
Me: Hmm. Uh… You know that that’s same as English, right?
Iz: No, Daddy. It’s English, only (finger pointing dramatically). With an Accent!!
