My dear aunt Rosalyn is such a character. She is the most confident person you will ever meet. She sways her hips from side to side in an exaggerated form and she adds S to the end of everything to sound more sophisticated. So Rosa decided to to take English classes to take her sophistication to another level. She came back home saying little words each day. One day her son was acting up and she turn to him and said, "Be Kweti," "Be Kweti"! Everyone burst out laughing including my parents who don't speak English that well themselves. Of course, she wanted to tell her son to be quiet. Even though we have told her several times how to pronounce it, she still insist on using her made up word Be KWETI.
