Charles and I had one of those moments today. You know the moment when you look across the table into your spouses eyes and think.......who is this kid we are raising? Yes, today at Mc Donalds (celebrating Charles's birthday I might add) Jack told us he needed some ketchup for his CHIPS.
His what? Yes, his chips.
We are at McDonalds for crying out loud! McDonalds the king of FRENCH FRIES NOT CHIPS. Charles and I didn't say anything to Jack. We handed him his ketchup, looked at each other, shook our heads, and thought we have been in this country TOO long if our first born is now referring to those nice golden fried potatoes from McDonalds as chips.

Uh oh. Jack has definitely been assimilated! Although, I have to admit that he always cracks me up with his accent. :D
:) I'm with ya! On the way home from a church lunch last month, the boys were being kinda crazy. I told them their problem was that they had too many sweets after lunch. Ethan's response? "Nuh-huh (with a very British inflection), I only had one lolly and two biscuits!" So the Hardins definitely understand!
I love his britishisms but if he tries "chips" with his cousins he won't get what he is asking for.
Definitely too long! Time for a trip "home"! :D
Happy Birthday Charles!
