We call each other Mate.

I'm having issues getting my photos to download. My computer is not reading my USB cord, hence the unattended blog. I have an appointment with the Apple store on Monday, so hopefully it will be resolved then. In the meantime, I've been itching to share a little story with you...photo or not.

All our bets have been on Walter picking up an English accent sooner or later. Well, he now can pull out an impeccable accent when he wants to. He is constantly correcting my incorrect English (its FOOTBALL not soccer) and telling me he needs a plaster (not band-aid) or tried a tomato (where the 'a' sounds like 'awe'). Yesterday he had a friend over after school and as they were racing cars around the house I heard him declare "I'm nearly finished." But my favorite one yet was when he was telling me about his new friend, Rudy. He said they were playing at recess with one another and that "we call each other Mate."
