Cockburn? I guess not- tricky Canadians!
I was watching the Olympics last night and probably one of the best events I have ever seen, trampoline. A couple of competitors went by and it was time for the Canadian hopeful Karen Cockburn. As the name appeared I immaturely chuckled to myself and was ready to move on until the announcer pronounced her name. Karen Cockburn was being pronounced as Karen Cobert. Apparently in Canada if you have a hilariously embarrassing last name you can change the way it is said. I get it. Its Canadian and French. But I mean come on. We all know your real name Karen and we all laughed. Also, my friend John Smallballs should probably be taking notes and move to Canada asap.
