An Acute Accent

Whenever she speaks with a Kenyan person, Anna subconsciously slips into her Kenyan accent. Play the video below to hear her describe our upcoming trip.



In case you have trouble (as I still do sometimes) understanding the Kenyan accent, I will translate. Anna is saying that she is going to Wisconsin for Christmas, where she will see her grandparents, and where she will see snow. Then she explains snow and cold, since her Kenyan friends have never experienced snow. I don't think she even remembers how cold she is going to be.

That's the story. My parents could not bear the thought of another Christmas without their grandchildren, so they wanted to fly Anna and Abi to Wisconsin. Since the girls are too small to fly alone, I get to accompany them. We are scheduled to leave tomorrow but might not, depending on the snow situation for our layover in Europe. You could all pray for us on the lengthy flights ahead. Hopefully every person on the airplane will be full of good Christmas cheer. Of course, if anyone needs additional in-flight entertainment, perhaps Anna could whip out her Kenyan accent....
