accent

Today a man who came to the cafe told me I have some british in my accent.

I said, "I should hope so! I'm half...half British!"

"Aren't you lucky!" He said, "Of course, better to be fully British but still."

I smiled and keyed in his order for a long black.

I like being a half and half.

But how wonderous that he could tell my heritage just from my speech!
