Where you from, eh?

Dear Leif,

We live in the US. Which means we don't end our sentences with "eh". Yes, we aren't that far from the Canadian border, but still, "eh" isn't part of our vocabulary. "Whatcha doin', eh?" "What is this man's name, eh?"

Again... really isn't "a-gain". I know. It is spelled like it should sound that way. It is just one of those funky American English things. I wish I could say you are just saying it how it reads... but you are four, you can't read yet.

I am starting to get a little worried that someone is going to start wondering which family you belong with. Could you have really picked all this up from our Canadian friends?

Signed,

Your American Mommy
