Annoying La Ros

[przed]

Last night whilst playing Game of Life, I discovered a sure fire way to annoy my daughter. Every time I got a Pay Raise card, I called it a Pay Rise card, completely without thinking. Ros objected to this. Strenuously.

Ros: It's not Pay Rise! It's Pay Raise!
Me: It's Pay Rise in England.
Ros: We're not in England!

Clearly, I need to expose her to more British culture. *g*

It's definitely 'rise' in England!! *g* But maybe she can wait a while before becoming bilingual? ;)

She's already partially bilingual. She calls TV the telly, and money dosh. Apparently pay rise was just more than she can handle. *g*

I do try. ;-)

(The poor kid is going to have different pop culture references than her peers.)

It's always important to tease one's daughters--I tell mine some kids are not as lucky as she is and their mothers do not tease them.

Teaching her a different language and culture is equally important. ;-) Def. More British culture!

Teasing is definitely a major mode of communication is our family. :D

She's going to have her fill of British culture if I have anything to do with it. And hey, she's already gravitating towards British pop. \o/

Excellent work. I recommend following up with the could care/couldn't care less conundrum next. And maybe math/maths...
