    For a bit, this was true for my daughter. She started to call me “dahddy” when she was into Peppa Pig. It didn’t last long, though.

      My kid is there. When something goes wrong he’ll say “oh NO!” Which can’t be typed in an Oxford accent but trust me you can hear it.

      Other Peppa-isms include the use of the words “silly” and “naughty”.

      This manifests in phases like, *“Oh NO, silly Andy!”

    Lol this is funny. My son does a good British accent because we have British family members and he thinks it’s funny.

      What counts as a British accent? Not being awkward just curious as I see it mentioned usually by American folks a lot. Does it mean any accent from the UK?

    There was this kids show called babar which was basically monarchist propaganda. I wonder what happened to them? Hopefully cancelled.

    I suspect it’s mostly temporary, I used to have a heavy Amsterdam accent when I was young because of the day care I went too, but it’s completely gone. I do still have a fondness for it though.

    Apparently I was like this, due to Ringo Starr playing Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station.

    First this, then the British Empire will reassert dominance over the colonies.

      They’ve got as much chance of wanting that back as France does for Quebec. (spoiler: they rejected the idea and our most recent separatist vote turned emo in a heartbeat)
