Playing take, accents and hen-do's

The other day we were in the play ground area of the school, waiting for the doors to open so the kids could go in. Bean asked me - "can I go play take with William"? I asked her what that was, I have never heard of it. She said "well, in America we call it a game of chase". Ahh - ok. Yes, you can go play take with William. Every day it is one more thing that we learn about this place we live in. And Bean is sounding more and more like a little British girl - she flits back and forth- some words come out the way we know them, others come out sounding like she has lived in England her entire life. Hubby and I just look at each other in amazement when she is talking to us. And for those wondering - Gerbie is finally starting to pick up the accent, ever so slightly. She called me mummy the other day and yesterday when I picked her up from school they were still having tea time and a lot of the kids were asking for more bread - and she repeated their request and said it exactly like they did. I had to get down face to face with her and look at her to see if those sounds were really coming out of her mouth. It is hilarious though, when the kids are home playing they almost always at some point get on a bike, in their wagon or even in a cardboard box and pretend to drive back to America. Hubby and I just laugh and say -let us know how driving to America works out for you!
And this morning when I was taking Bean to school, one of the British mums invited me to a hen-do. A what, huh? She explained this is what we in America would call a bachelorette party or a girls night out. I will probably go - I would like to see what it is like to have a girls night out in England. How do you dress for a hen-do anyway?
