Confusing the French

-
-
Today, the bank teller was confused about my nationality, as other French people have been. This is why:

1. I look German
2. I have a French first name (Ann-Elise)
3. I have an English/Swedish last name
4. I have an American accent
5. I liberally pepper my French with Spanish.

Considering all of the above, I have been confused as German, English, and Spanish. According to some, my accent isn't typically American which further adds to the confusion.

The confusion ends next week.

Too weird.

Dear "Finally-mom-and-dad-stood-up-to-your-constant-filial-pressure,"

Totally. Personally, I prefer a bit more "twang" than "ping." I'm assuming this means another trek to Guitar Center?

I need your help picking out a cell phone and making a laptop decision.

See you SOON.

Mom says "hi."
