Here you are my eldest brother whom I love! Hope everyone is tip top. We are trying to absorb all things british and annoying so that when my mom gets here she'll have an understanding of what we are working with. When we pick her up I'll greet her with a, "You allright Mum?" and then have the girls courtsey as is the custom here. Michael will of course barely look up from his paper and utter a very british, "Harumph". For the duration of my mom's visit we will never, no not ever make a statement. In true british form we will only ask questions... ie, Michael, "are we out of toilet roll?" Vashti, "are we?"...we will only drink tea and the girls will have to pick up smoking in the next day or so to have my mom fully convinced we have turned truly british! Unfortunately the girls wont be able to call her GrammaLuvvy but some shade of Gran on Nan. Tally hoe, chop chop and sally forth I say!

man, I couldnt keep that up for a nanosecond!
wait, for the duration of today, I'll only ask Mike and Ethan questions...
Ev you will have to count how many times you hear the British in Michael and Vashti. I noticed it right away.....it made me laugh. I then only started to notice it from Vashti when she was amongst the commoners while Michael it was all the time. Crazy.
Have a great time !!!
sounds good to me
OOOOh I can hardly wait for the bangers and mash with mushy peas!!
I am on a pin about winging my suitcase filled with all things toylike and roasterish, onto a slow moving train!! I have visions of using a cane and having a pair of very dark sunglasses and playing my old card to get some help....Morleybone keeps ringing in my ears.
C u in two sleeps my girls!!
Much love

Bye Gummalovey! Have a wonderful, wonderful time with your beautiful babies! Vashti, your English killed me! Don't let yer man knock you up in the morning, use a rubber in a whole new way, and if your belly thinks your throats cut, only then have bangers and mash!
Have fun, and don't forget to POST!!!!
luv Jac
Oh christ, Only mom would actually wish for British food, YUCK! However british candy is a total other dimension, No wonder they have such god awful teeth there. Anyhow have a nice time mama with the pasty faced, spindly limbed limesuckers. And yes I am totally referring to Micheal, YOU FRAUD your from GIBSONS! talking like a prat doesn't make you sound smarter! We have a british fellow at work with a lovely british accent which i later found out he is from detroit and spent 5 years in england....hurumph..
HEY VASHTI IF GUMMALOVIENONIEHASAPONY COMES BACK TO WORK TALKING LIKE HYACINTH I WILL HAVE TO STRING HER UP IN THE DAYCARE ROOM WITH THE STRIPED CURTAINS SECURED AROUND HER THROAT! I TRUST THAT G HAS ARRIVED WITH THE ROASTER AND LID INTAK.ENJOY YOUR VISIT!
