‘berg in ‘burgh

steinberg has arrived. steinberg is now pronounced stein-bur-ah. unclear whether she likes this or not. it’s funny to see mia go through what i went through last week: the not-looking-right when you step off a curb; the inability to not peer in curtainless windows; the constant this-place-is-so-old line of talk.

i was telling my coworkers this morning that i have to remind mia to look right when she crosses the street, and it took me about a week to do regularly, so i wonder how long it’s going to take her. i then said that i should do some science and not remind her so that i can compare results.

they said: signs? what kind of signs?

me: huh? oh. not signs, science!

it turns out that i’m not the only one who’s having trouble with accents around here.
