Problem: Just called home to wish my sister a happy birthday . She was n't there , but after talking with my mom for ages I ' m now walking around the house trying to wash the English accent out of my mouth -- the one I had when I was 7 and literally lost years before leaving home , and yet rears it 's head every time I speak with my mother now . People usually hear a little something " off " in my voice and occasionally pin it to England , but not nearly as often as they used to .

Why did she want to lose her accent ?

A: Because she did n't like it .

Problem: There 's something about seeing the American flag flying overseas to the accompaniment of our national anthem that gets me every time . So as you can imagine , I was a little weepy last night as Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte accepted their medals in Beijing .

Why was the narrator starting to cry ?

A:
The Americans won a game .
