DD has s funny accent.

[pie]

I'm from London, DH from America, but for some reason, and I'm not joking, DD talks like an Italian Cockney. She sounds exactly like Giorgio Locatelli, a cross between Dick van Dyke and somebody in a Ragu advert.

I don't know why. It doesn't really worry me, but it is very strange.

Anyone else have a child that sounds nothing like them? Do they grow out of it?

So, in an international school in Switzerland (where every spelling is accepted at age 5), my son got marked down for writing "Mom". As his mom (ie, he calls me Mom, not Mum), I was a bit chargrined until I realized his teacher had no f*cking clue that it was an accepted word. (She's Australian.) The boys at my husband's work all knew the word (British single young things), but what do you all think?

She admitted she had never seen the word before (she thought he was "mishearing" it). I guess that's what I'm judging her on.

ps. there's a nice young British guy I know in Zuerich and he's very cute.....

Sorry for the off-topicness.
