The United Kingdom Of America, Part 2

(I’m visiting family in the US and stopped by a local bookstore that has a large manga selection. I am buying a couple of books when the cashier asks about my accent.)

Me: “Oh? I’m English. I’m visiting family.”

Cashier: “Wow, your English is really good! When did you start learning?”

Me: “Umm, when I was born?”

Cashier: “You’re bilingual? What language do they speak in England?”

Me: “English…”

(Suffice it to say, she was extremely confused. A person born and bred in England speaking English… Madness!)
