The story of my father needing an interpreter to speak with British people has become the stuff of legend, but I’ll repeat it for my flood of new followers. Thread.

Bob looked genuinely confused at first and thought it was a joke. He asked if we were playing a prank and refused to believe my father’s answer after I translated the question. As it went on, he became more and more resigned as I imagine every American stereotype was proven true.

To this day, my father groans when British people ask to speak with him. He genuinely likes British people, but he knows he’s gonna have to find someone to interpret for him.

Your father was friends with someone he couldn't understand & not only that - this friend had never noticed this about your dad before? They'd never actually met in person - prps corresponded in writing only? It's fair enough I guess - there's much about Americans that baffle me

I'm American and I'm baffled.
