I just haven't got the ear, but I generally can tell an American from a Canadian...<br />It's funny I always wonder how I'll feel about my children identifying themselves more as Italian than as American if we stay in Italy... I'm hoping they learn a bit about all the cultures that surround them daily.<br />And your children will surely know to offer tea, they'll be following your example after all!Bonny Bardhttp://thebonnybard.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408793628656295626.post-53893420708192572832012-07-07T12:01:09.475+01:002012-07-07T12:01:09.475+01:00One of these days I want to pretend to get really ...One of these days I want to pretend to get really offended when someone misidentifies me as Canadian...just because in all of history an American has never done that yet :)Mañana Mamahttp://www.manana-mama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408793628656295626.post-40602155068757706542012-07-07T08:58:10.745+01:002012-07-07T08:58:10.745+01:00I always get the 'where in America are you fro...I always get the 'where in America are you from' question. So confident and sure that they have identified my home country. I've taken to enjoying the look of terror that crosses some people's faces when I say I'm Canadian. They always profusesly apologise. I honestly don't know any Canadians who would get that upset for being misidentified as American.Melissahttp://girlroamingaroundtheworld.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408793628656295626.post-16459081402002427612012-07-05T19:22:18.397+01:002012-07-05T19:22:18.397+01:00I get taken for Irish sometimes...which actual Iri...I get taken for Irish sometimes...which actual Irish people find very amusing.Mañana Mamahttp://www.manana-mama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408793628656295626.post-27979649150139574342012-07-05T17:14:33.326+01:002012-07-05T17:14:33.326+01:00Lovely post.

I am an expat that moans about a lack of decent tea, and someone asked me if I was Australian just this very morning! :DBavarian Sojournnoreply@blogger.com
