He's got a point

In trying to find this one structure above ground that my dad saw and was determined to find, meandering thru the ever confusing underground PATH in Toronto (I'm sure it's not for the natives), we were hopelessly lost. Having no sense of direction didn't help the matter any either... So I stopped in the security office to ask for directions. (Apparently no one else that works in the various shops in the PATH even knew what I was talking about and all unanimously referred me to security. W.t.f.)

Anyway... So adorably stereotypical, everyone other word out of the security guard's mouth was "eh." Didn't help the matter that Jared was wearing a touristy t-shirt that says "Canada, eh."

As soon as we left the security office, both kids started mimicking the guard and adding "eh" to everything they say.

That is until Alex stopped abruptly: "Canada has eh, in America we have "like" and "ummm". Umm... Right? Like this is how we talk and like, umm, let's not find this place and like, let's get outta here."

Fair. Point.

You can imagine what the conversations were like after that.... To make matters worse, Jared added in the valley girl accent... So if you were in Toronto last week and saw a bunch of Americans (Chinese looking of course, though I dunno how one can tell we were Americans) walking down the street talking funnily and laughing their heads off , that was probably us. Oops.
