I grew up in a British home, in the States. It was almost like knowing two languages.. translating what mom said to my American friends.. we were not alone.. in the military, it was not uncommon to know a couple other families from the UK.

We would play baseball one day, go to another friends home the next day, and play cricket.

Food we thought was normal, was not always appreciated by the American kids.. chip butti's, cuke butti's and such..

Knowing what a page three girl was, and enjoying sharing them, with the American kids..

and so on...LOL
