CANADIA FTW

Conversation between me (A) and an elderly foreign teacher from Canada (C)

C: Hi, my name is *********.
A: Nice to meet you, I'm Alison.
C: Your English is really good.
A: Thanks...
C: 为什么? (Why? *also tone-less)
A: 我是美国人。 ( I am an American.)
C: Oh have you lived abroad?
A: I grew up in America.
(Canadian looks really puzzled and then leaves)
