How I Learned To Keep My Mouth Shut

When I talked,

everyone points out how

my mouth can't form the correct syllables, 

how my "a" and "r"'s mess up the rest of the word,

how un-American I sound,

and how everyone asks me if I'm British.


(Spoiler alert: I'm not.)


They also ask "Did you know you have a British accent?"

Yes, I know.

I've known my whole life.


And that,

is 

how I learned to keep my mouth shut.
