In retrospect all my action was singleminded, use SAT words and phrases. In addition, the housekeeper spoke creole so WC spent a good part of her earlier years teaching her english.

Now that all that formal education is over, I am trying as I believe that it was a major oversight. WC's cousins put on the American twang for her during our usually scheduled two weeks stay in Jamaica.

Sis Dine and those with young ones can be mindful of striking a fair balance.
