One thing I've been dealing with here, that I hadn't thought I would is the dialects. I am aware that there are loads of different dialects in a country this big with this many people, but I really hadn't thought that my kids would have such a wide variety. Most of the kids speak with little to no accent but then I have one special little guy that has a thick accent and uses some southern dialect words that I don't always understand. Here is a prime example:
Me: Okay, "Joseph" why don't you try writing your name.
"Joseph": 'Kay
He proceeded to write a backwards J and then say to me: Dat mai naaaaame!!!
Needless to say, I almost fell off my chair.
