I can hear the Irish coming through in your conversation – I did a little video/audio clip for my first A to Z post on Autumn because I think people don’t realize I have an Aussie accent. We all seem the same until we hear the speech patterns that are particular to our countries.

Hahaha — I love this. I live with my father, taking care of him, and he’s pretty hard of hearing. We have conversations like this.

We’ve learned to ask my mother right off whether or not she’s wearing her hearing aids. That ruins the fun for her, but it saves our sanity. Father Ted is hilarious. It confirms so many of the suspicions I had growing up Catholic…..
