A wee day oot
One I wanted to write myself. Have a few little oneshots lined up, but please keep your requests coming! I've said before that I'm not American. I don't believe I've said that I'm British, and that the part of Britain I live in is Scotland. Sorry, about to give a bit of a geography lesson because I think there'll be at least one person who thinks Britain and England are the same thing, they're not! Anyone from Scotland, England, Northern Ireland or Wales is British. England has their own flag, the Union flag (only the Union Jack when flown at sea) is a combo of the flags so is for all of us. Anyway, a little story of Henry spending some time with Grandpa Rumple and learning some Scots. :)
After much debating, the Charmings had agreed to let Rumple spend the day alone with his grandson. He barely knew the boy; all he wanted to do was spend time with his grandson. However, it was too Rumple's disgust that he'd discovered that Henry had started spitting. Emma had warned him and told him to tell him off for it. They had guessed he'd picked it up from the lost boys.
"Henry son gonnie no dae that? It is absolutely bowfin." Rumple told him, wrinkling his nose. Henry looked up at him, confused.
"What?" He asked, not understanding him.
"You know, clatty, boggin, manky…" Henry looked totally bamboozled. Rumple sighed. "Disgusting."
"Ohhh, why didn't you just say disgusting?" Henry asked.
"Because I prefer my words. It makes me want to boke." One look at Henry and Rumple knew he didn't understand. "Gag, Henry. Now come on, you can come back to my house and have a piece before you go back to your mother." Henry still looked confused.
"A piece of what?" He asked. Rumple sighed again.
"A piece is a sandwich, son. It's getting awful dreich…sorry, cold, wet and grey. Eskimos have lots of different words for snow, Scots have lots of different words for wet weather." Rumple said with a smile. Henry smiled back, following his grandpa back to his house. He made a mental note to pick up some sort of Scots dictionary.
(An, obviously we pack so many Scots words into as few sentences as that most of the time. I just did for the sake of the story :P )
