Old habits die hard I guess because he still refers to the stairs as apple and pears and when he is needs to go to the bathroom as going for a jimmy riddle. He still pronounces butter as Buhaah and water as Wahaah, and dammit, even I picked up the habit from him because I still recall my mum telling me off for not pronouncing the two words correctly.
He also still refers to me as Duchess!

You wouldn't want them talking like that now would you.
