| 47. Ha! My husband's cousin |
|
married an American girl, and they moved out into the country. Way out into the country, she saw nobody but him, the pigs and the chickens, so to speak. When we went to visit a few months later, she was speaking English with a Spanish accent.
I wish I could speak with no accent at all, all the time, but like I said, I don't even know when I'm doing it!
