Driving through San Antonio, Ben interrupts his constant monologue from the back seat to ask a question, "Does everyone in San Antonio speak Spanish?"
Parental unit, from the front seat, "Oh.. I'm sure that not everyone in San Antonio speaks Spanish.. why?"
Back Seat : "Because I just saw a sign in Spanish."
Front Seat : "Well, there's Spanish signs in Austin, too."
Back Seat : "I never see them."
Front Seat : "Ok... well I bet that people speak lots of languages in San Antonio, just like they do in Austin."
Back Seat : "Like English?"
Front Seat : "Yes."
Back Seat : "And French?"
Front Seat : "French too."
Back Seat : "What about British?"
Front Seat : "British? What words do you know in British, Ben?"
Back Seat : "Oh.. not that many. I just know a little."
Front Seat : "Can you tell us what you know?"
Back Seat : "Ok. 'We've hopped across the pond to give you Yanks one for, eh!'"
this is priceless! My kids used to watch Kipper (an animated dog) and then they would speak with a British accent...
