June27 changing 

Not me,nothing happening from my end.The kids .Its started ,they’re on the shift . Americanisation , it’s infecting them day by day.Tex has just has a faint tonal change to his speech. The key to the American accent is they hang on to their ‘r’ . The r is emphasised along with e.Tex and I had an argument about the pronounciation of depot . You see the yanks call it deepoh . This is is one of about 10 recent fights we’ve had about my aparrent  accent . Tex is actually embarrassed when I talk to his mates . He acts as interpreter , tells me they all just say’ yes ’cause they think I speak another language . Tex was being his usual smart arse self in the car whilst I took his mates up to Elsugundo skatepark . Of course we got a bit lost as he was navigator ,and it was all my fault .An escalating argument ensued until I said ‘keep going and my 5 little friends might have to intervene., as I gave a  wave of my fist . It’s fair to say his mates were suddenly very quiet and wide eyed. I don’t think they really did understand my language. They thought I was totally serious .I laughed and said ‘I’m only joking boys.’ …Silence .​

​Tex says they think I’m a bit mad ,but I told him I’m not some soft as batter ,sunnyside up ‘il do anything for my kids #+#+#*#+doormat.’ Yep there’s very little slang or profanity in Hermosa ………..until I got here.                         Also holy calamity Leroy has dropped all interest in Aussie rules . NFL, baseball even going into a soccer camp next week.Fuck I might hang myself on that last 1.We go to the park everyday to practice his NFL skills. Won’t dare touch one of his 19 footys.Brings a tear to the eye . Now I am truly all alone .yep I asked her if she he could put those on me later .
