Tiny British toddler speaks with American accent after watching Ms Rachel
When Kelly Convey posted a video of her daughter Bea saying everyday words like 'car,' 'more,' 'ears,' and 'zebra,' she had to make one thing clear: 'Has anybody else got a British — and I have to stress, British — toddler who watches Ms Rachel… and as they've started to speak, you realize that they've actually got an American accent.' Sure enough, Bea's 'car' sounded straight out of New York, not North London. And honestly? It's kind of adorable. The accent switch parents didn't see coming If you've ever had your toddler start calling the trash can a 'bin' after a week of Peppa Pig, you already know how easily their speech patterns shift. For Bea, hours of Ms Rachel's bright, clear pronunciation meant her first words came out with an American twang. In the comments, parents were quick to joke: Stephen Cochran: 'No, but I have an American child who speaks British thanks to Peppa Pig. So… payback I guess.' Hope Elece Walker: 'Peppa Pig did this to American toddlers…llol!' And honestly, they're not wrong—this feels like a full-circle parenting moment. Related: Ms. Rachel helps kids learn to speak—but it's what she says to moms that stays with you Why kids pick up accents so easily Toddlers are little linguistic sponges. They're not just learning vocabulary, they're learning rhythm, tone, and the mouth shapes that come with different accents. A speech-language pathologist will tell you: the more they hear something—especially from a voice they're engaged with—the more likely they are to copy it. It's one of the reasons Ms Rachel has become such a global hit—her intentionally slow, clear speech supports early language development. And yes, sometimes that means a London toddler sounds like they're ready for preschool in New Jersey.

They'll hear both versions and learn that there's more than one 'right' way to say 'zebra.' Because in the end, this cute video is a reminder of how much influence the voices in our kids' lives really have. And in Ms Rachel's case, that influence is reaching children in living rooms across the world. Solve the daily Crossword

'My T*t Was Out': Mum Details Unfortunate Mishap While Taking Delivery Post-Breastfeeding
Comedian Kelly Convey has opened up about a rather unfortunate mishap which occurred when she opened the door to a delivery driver. Convey had been breastfeeding her little one prior to answering the door to the delivery worker, who handed her a parcel for her husband and asked if she'd take one for her neighbour. At the time she gladly obliged and went about her business – until her rather flustered neighbour appeared at her door a few moments later. 'They're usually very chatty, very nice, but today it was almost verging on rude,' said Convey, looking puzzled, and explaining her neighbour had grabbed the parcel quickly and left. Well, that probably had something to do with the fact she'd answered the door with her top pulled up. 'Then I realised that my tit was hanging out,' she revealed in a hilarious TikTok video which has been viewed 9.5 million times. It gets better (or worse, depending on which way you look at it) though, as she phoned her husband to tell him the unfortunate news and was shocked to discover he already knew what had happened. Is he psychic? No, it turns out that when the delivery driver had snapped a photo of the parcel on her doorstep (which is standard protocol these days), they'd managed to capture her naked breast at the same time. Her tit was, indeed, hanging out. In fact, in her next post, Convey shared the photo evidence. Carrying her baby while she filmed the original TikTok video, she told them with a grimace: 'I hope you're well-fed. I hope you enjoyed your meal.' She won't be the first – nor last – breastfeeding parent to expose a boob to an unsuspecting delivery worker. Between the tiredness of new parenthood and the fact your boob can go a bit numb after feeding, it's surprising it doesn't happen more often. ″[I] had a delivery and my son was still latched on,' said one mum in the comments section. 'As soon as I opened the door my son ripped his head back and the milk shot out in front of his [the delivery driver's] feet.' Another said: 'I literally did this last week. Except I was standing in front of a window and waved to my neighbour.' One person revealed they were walking around a shopping centre with theirs in full view, before a friendly passerby flagged it to them. 'Like, how many people saw and said nothing??' they added. And it turns out, some people are repeat offenders. One mum said the same thing happened three times to the same postman. 'First time he was shocked,' she explained. 'Third time he stood and talked to me!' For people like Convey, who are now ready to die of embarrassment or move to another country, the good news is that delivery workers seem relatively unfazed by the phenomenon. One delivery worker commented on the video that this is something they've witnessed a few times and added: 'It's really no biggie.' Um... phew? I Was Told Breastfeeding Was Best For My Baby.
