Does this mean that my kids will start acting Canadian?

If so, how do I de-Canadianize them?

If they start saying please and thank-you and have manners and using napkins they have been Canadianized and all you should do is Thank God. Your welcome The Rebel P S Another sure sign is if they use silverware when they eat.

Other things you should watch for are if your child starts to pick up phrases like:



"Hi Soldierboy!" instead of "Hi Dad!"

Or

"Me love long you time!" instead of "I love you too Dad!"

Or

"No pay....No play" instead of "Dad I need lunch money."

When I tell him he's a good boy, he already sometimes corrects me with "I'm a good Marine."

Since you took the last comments in good spirit I'll tell you what my Dad always taught me. When it comes to napkins the Englishman puts it around his neck the American puts it on his lap and the Canadian throws it on the floor and steps on it. Regards The Rebel
