reason #1 brandon should not be allowed in public.

Although it was inevitable, it sure didn't take long. I have done something awkward and embarrassing. We were on our walk back the other day and noticed people picking the berries we had been wondering about.


From Untitled Album

Are they poisonous or edible? Are they blackberries, raspberries or some unknown berry goodness? So, I asked them a simple question: Are those raspberries? Perfectly normal question to ask, except it came out in a British accent. I don't know why it happened, I certainly wasn't trying to do it. Instantly, I became an observer to my own act - "WHAT AM I DOING?!" My overcompensation to completely plain American English probably didn't help much. Thankfully they seemed a bit startled by my question, as though they had been caught doing something wrong. So maybe they didn't notice.

Thus went my first faux pas.
