Last trip to Charleston I went for a steak in applebees, waitress asked about my accent - I said that I was from England, she says "oh yeah that's a part of france..."
I was just like, "No."
My mom is from England. She had not been here that long when a nurse asked her where she was from. She replied England and the nurse exclaimed "Your husband must be so proud of you, you speak English very well."
Granted this was the very early 60's and I don't think nursing required a broad liberal arts background but.................

I walk Danni by a preschool in the mornings (on the other side of the road, it's in the middle of our residential area). One morning, a mom got her little boy out of the car, and he instantly yells, "OOO! IT'S A COYOTE!" But of course he says it in this Incredible Hulk type voice, saying CAH-YO-TEH!
It was hilarious. The mom and I both laughed and she told him that it was a dog and not a coyote. He seems a little bummed. It was awesome.

A family member of mine once dated an crazy guy that was prone to going off on whacko political tangents. The kind of raving lunacy where you can't even get a word in, you just have to buckle your seatbelt and enjoy the whacky ride. He was a 911 conspiracy theorist and a big time LaRouche supporter.
One time he went on this rant about something, in the course of the monologue he managed to work in all his theories from the moon landing to the federal reserve. It went on for like twenty minutes. He had really spun himself into a tizzy with this one.
Somehow, he managed to wrap it all up with:
"... and if it weren't for the revolutionaries in the American Revolution, we would all be speaking BRITISH!"
