I had a scary realization the other day.
When I am confused by my cat's behavior, I speak to him in a German accent.
For example, I always say "Ralphie! What are you doing?" As I see him attempting to scale a wall or climb all over my pretty mantle. By, in my Maryland version of a German accent, it would sound a little something like this (excuse my phonetic spelling) :
Rvalphie! Vhat ahre yogu dohing?!
And when I'm feeling goofy with my students, I speak in a Harry Potter-like accent. And whenever I do this, I have to actually say the name "Harry Potter" just to cement how legit the accent is in my brain.
Sometimes I really believe I am a strange creature. I have no idea when these accents started, but I did receive confirmation that I have been unknowingly immatating them for months.
Crazy.
Well... I guess that's what the winter is for. Being crazy, doing silly things to make the time pass by, and questioning if you should be institutionalized.
