Yet another chance for Éiden to hone his acting chops

"Let's get in the cah," Éiden said when I picked him up from school.

"The car?" I aksed.

"No," he answered. "The cah."

When I told him that people from Boston talk like that and gave him some examples he was utterly delighted and has been since pronouncing everything he can like he's a Bostonian.

Has he been talking to Matt Damon?

No -- Ben Affleck -- and I keep telling him to stay away from the guy because he's box office poison.

What? he's always been talking with a thick Boston accent

No, he dropped it recently in favor of a Midwestern one (though not Minnesotan).

Oh dear...a midwestern twang coming out of that juicy little package....too much for me to bear.

I like how you "aksed" him. Sounds like you have some accent issues of your own.

I know. I should have axed him instead.
