You Might Be Married to a Brit If…
- Your two-year-old asks for more to-mah-toes at dinner.
- You have to take more passports than people with you when you travel.
- Your children are taught how to say “I’m half and haaahf” as soon as they can talk. Just because it’s totally cute.
- The ladies in your small group all stare at your husband when a volunteer is needed to read the Bible passage (especially when it’s a really long one, like the book of Colossians.)
- You call a pack ‘n’ play a “travel cot” and don’t even realize why people are looking at you funny.
- Your children say things like “What a lovely day!” and “Are we going to bed straight away when we get home?”
- You watch old episodes of Silver Spoons, and your husband laughs hysterically, because it’s totally new to him.
- Everyone thinks your kids’ names are really weird, except for your mother-in-law, whose only complaint is that Philippa rhymes with Juniper.
- You put the kettle on at least twice a day for a cup of tea, even though you don’t personally drink tea.
- Your kids have “Big Cook Little Cook” in their regular rotation of DVDs.
- Talking to your husband on the phone makes you just a little bit weak at the knees, because, for some reason, you no longer hear the accent in person, but you do on the phone, and it’s still *so* fun when you notice it!
For the record, I don’t think your kids names are weird, but I’m dying that someone … anyone … thinks that Philippa and Juniper rhyme. Junipah? ROFL!
And … I would love to hear Audra ask me if she was going to bed straight away when she gets home.
I want to visit you in person!!!
This is fantastic.
I do totally have to say I thought of you the entire time (except for the dying husband part which has no relevance to you and Trevor) I watched P.S. I Love You. And I thought of you with complete envy because your husband has an accent you talk about and I wish my husband did, too! haha!
Jodi, You need to get back here! Then you could enjoy this all the time
Wait, Silver Spoons was funny? Maybe I should have watched it… Oh well, too late now!
