You can take the boy out of Boston, but ...

Robert Corry moved away almost a decade ago and finds himself increasingly drawn to the accent he once rejected - even to the point of taunting his young son, who has a Philadelphia accent. Of course, he realizes that's mean:

So tonight, when everyone's asleep, I'm going to kneel down next to his crib and tell him that I love the way he speaks. I'll pat his sleeping head, blink away a tear and turn out the light.

Then, under cover of darkness, in one final act of nerdy, passive aggressive rebellion, I'll find his set of wooden alphabet blocks and remove all the R's, because where I come from, they're optional.
