Oh That Emma...

This weekend, my in-laws came for a visit before their annual avoid-the-winter-at-all-costs pilgrimage to Florida.

They originally hail from Glasgow, Scotland and my mother-in-law (after nearly 42 years in this country) still has a fairly strong accent...

During dinner Saturday night, the kids were trying to imitate my mil's accent...to which she finally replied, "You want to talk like me? I'd like to talk like you!"

Emma's response?

"What? You want to scream and yell?"

Well, at least she hears herself...

Emma: "Dat's what I said...she's very forgettable...she says she's always forgetting things..."
