Well, come y’all, y’hear?

Sorry!

It took quite a number of trips to the US and engaging with the fact of having a US citizen for a mother to come to terms with my own stereotypes about Americans. I’m probably fairly ‘cured’ at this point. Though the long-suffering woman. tolerant I share an office with (ex-bank, East Coast private school, pearls, cheerleader etc etc) does offer such a target at times. I mean a girl from Detroit who’s never heard of the Stooges? Shameful!

I secretly love the fact that even after 12 years here everyone still goes nuts for my accent. The best was when I got a free bottle of wine in a restaurant because the waiter liked the way I said “F*ck”. (What can I say, I was a potty mouth in my youth). Will miss you while you are gone.

My mum (god bless her) went to a conference over the weekend about sexuality and gender and has come back full of what she learnt and about how tenuous the line that defines our idea of gender really is. She would hate that book…

Don’t be gone too long – I will miss you x

I love it. We would be amazing friends if ever we were nearby seeing as I’m a huge fan of the boozy lunch, as well. I’ve never tried it with a book, though… that’s something I’d love to try! hahaha Hilarious. And you’re spot on about the British accent thing. I once took a guy home because he had an Irish accent… too bad it was fake! hahaha
