Sounds of desperation are in the air...

12. Did I tell you what happened when I was in Ireland?

If I spend any time around my cousins (or just in Ireland for that matter), I start talking like I was born there (spending my summers in youth there didn't hurt this tendency). I was sitting in a pub with my cousin and a few of his mates, and he was talking about his "crazy cousin from NY" and his friends said "when is she arriving?" They were in stitches when he motioned toward me and said "there she is!". One of them asked me, in his best American accent, why I "was tawkin' so funny" and swore he didn't detect any accent at all.

The other thing was when I called to speak to my husband he jokingly said "can you please put my wife on the phone?".

It's not AS bad when I hang out with the English family members and pals, but its still pretty bad.
