This morning, my ma turned on the TV and "Fiddler on the Roof" was on, so we watched a bit of it with my brother Anthony and my kid sister Maisie. They enjoyed it, so I suggested we watch "The King And I" sometime in the near future. Maisie and I went to the movie part of the library to get it. When we got back, the following conversation took place:
Thomas: What'd you get?
Maisie: "The Wizard of Oz" and "Bill and I"
Me: you mean, "The King and I."
Apparently every time I've said "The King" it sounds like "Bill." I don't know why. But she keeps saying "Bill and I" cause she says it sounded like that's what I've been saying. I suppose she might be right and I'm just getting confused with the movie "The King and I's Excellent Adventures."
How the heck dyou word that sentence?
The King and My Excellent Adventures
The King's and My Excellent Adventures
The King's and Mine Excellent Adventures
The Excellent Adventures of the King and I
Pish.
I was trying to say a sentence like that once when my big sister Mary and I were trying to convince the brothers that it was our turn on the TV.
Me: It's mine and Mary's turn-It's my and Mary's turn-It's Mary and I's turn-It's the turn of Mary and me!
Anthony: "It is the turn of Mary and I." That is our language.
Thomas is trying to re-write the English Alphabet so that it makes more sense, so maybe he can fix Grammar while he's at it, then we'll all be happy and there's jam for tea.
