We keep him around for the comic relief

Noah and I had a good conversation this morning.  

Noah: Mommy, can you help me with the Legos?   

Me: No, I'm working. 

Noah: The man will help me. 

Me: Who is the man?   

Noah: Me.   

Me: Oh. Are you a big man, or a little man? 

Noah: I'm a little man. 

Me: When will you be a big man? How old do you have to be to be a big man? 

Noah: Five. I will go to my class. 

For the entire conversation, he was answering in this goofy voice. So my next question was:   

"Why are you talking funny?"

To which he replied, without missing a beat:   

"Because I'm American."

Ha! I love it! (Millie is the comedian in our family -- just two days ago she pooped two BUTTONS.)

Please ask Noah if he minds that the next time when someone makes fun of my "foreign accent", I could use the same line?
One time a person says to me, "You speak English, where are you from?"
It is sunny today but there was forecast of freezing rain and sleet tomorrow. I prefer the snow in NYC than the freezing rain.
Have a good week,
TOTA

The word "broken" was left out in my previous comment.
The person said, "You speak BROKEN English, where are you from?"
