Cultural Hegemony

It interests me, the extent to which the idea of America permeates my children's creative play.  They often use American accents (or poor attempts at them) and what they think is idiomatic American English - they'll say things like 'that'll be three dimes please'.  Even imaginary business cards have American addresses.

Dear Mrs Slencer, I am awfully sorry about Kaitlin I don't know whats come over her. Shes locked herself in her room and I've been knocking on the door for about half an hour now.  She can't run away because the window in her room is awfully stiff but I will give her a note to tell about what you said.  Thanks Miranda Buckley.

Missing Miffy 'Four'  block.  These were the letters written on it. FGH.  If you find please return to "the playroom", "Ruby and Ninas Room" or "Grace and Lily's Room" which ever ones closer.  Thankyou.  Please sign if you have read and LISTENED To!  Pens  Look down!

A phrase book might be more practical if you don't talk the language, but a praise book might also come in handy.
