Apr 27 2002: When children are little they adopt culture quickly, which is why they pick up slang and accents so quickly. I am like that child. Today I went to Bath, England to check out the old sulphur smelling Roman Baths. A, B, C and I are sitting down to tea at the Pumphouse starting on dessert after finishing the finger sandwiches and scones with clotted cream. The waitress asks me if I want something, I reply "Yes, that would be" (insert long dramatic pause here) "lovely (with a minute english accent)".



The laughter was instantaneous and unavoidable. There was nothing I could do, my brain wouldn't pump out any other words. At least I'm taking in the culture.
