And then there was the time I was on my HS graduation trip with a few girlfriends and this guy from Yorkshire kept flirting with me at the hotel pool. I enjoyed the attention but nearly choked when he asked if he could come knock me up later. Imagine his mortification when it was explained to him what that means here in the US. LOL
My Nicholas watches lots of British cartoons too and will thus use lots if British words. I have to tell him all the time, that's not what we call it in America! Lol
