I walked around reading my entire childhood. People actually called me "Belle" because of how she walks around in Beauty and the Beast! I did it everywhere - outside, the grocery store, parking lots, school, while making food, etc. I would let her do it, but just remind her to be careful of...

Without an accent? Are you guys being serious? First off, you just basically cut out TONS of people from running for president if they can't have whatever it is you deem to be an accent. And in case you have forgotten, no matter which accent a person has (unless it is from another country), he...
