Queen’s English

21 July 2008 2 Comments

Gean has a bad habit of saying “I got” to mean that she did something. Example:

Me: Did you torture the cockroach before setting Muffin on it?

G: I gotttttttttttttt.

Me: Did you iron all my clothes last night?

G: I gotttttttttttttt.

Anyway. I hate this “I got” business, so I’d always correct her when I hear it - with  “I did“.

Lately she’s gotten much better - only to infuriate me with the introduction of another class phrase - “where got?”

So I told her I have no idea what “where got” means.

That’s when she went,”Oops sorry, mummy. Where did?”
