A family had lived in Brooklyn for three years, and their eight-year-old son
had attended a Brooklyn public school for the past two years. The people of
Brooklyn are renowned for their unusual, if not unique, manner of speaking, and
the two years of school had given the young fellow an accent that would be
recognizable anywhere in the English-speaking world.
The parents were concerned about this, for they were from Virginia, and did not
think it proper that their son should speak in such a manner...excuse me,
mannah.
They were well-to-do, so they imported a nanny from their home state, with
instructions to Get The Brooklyn Out Of That Boy's Mouth.
Saturday morning, the nanny took the lad for the first of many walks in a
nearby park. Hearing a bird making a large ruckus high in a tree, the boy said
to the nanny "Listen to that boid!"
Taking her instructions seriously, the nanny admonished him "That's not boid,
it's bird."
Puzzled, the boy replied "It choips like a boid."
