The School of Kumquat
Rob, Derek, Steve, and I have been sitting at Kumquat Coffee for the last 2 hours or so. Here are some things we've learned:
1. My husband is really cool.
2. Kumquats have many uses, and you can eat their peels.
3. Girls aren't good at sound effects. God created boys with the ability to make noises with their mouths that you would think only machines could make. For example, Derek can whistle and hum at the same time making you think a flying saucer is landing behind you.
4. Being around many different languages makes our English-speaking abilities decline rapidly.

For sure laughed at this post. I've found that even being around a different accent of English can deteriorate my English speaking abilities. My brain processes words the way I'm constantly hearing them, but my mouth isn't used to pronouncing them the way my brain wants it to.
I find myself coming up with new words a lot. If I say it with confidence my kiwi friends can't tell. They just think that's the way we American's talk. ;o)
