Time in Dc

My father planned a trip to take my brothers and I to Washington dc to see my two sisters, step mom, brother in law, niece and a newly born nephew I didn't know I had.
We had fun. I seen a comedian side of my father I never seen before. Hanging with my family, they all spoke with a heavy Jamaican accent, but I could understand everyone. The confusing part was that I couldn't speak it, and when I talked they sometimes couldn't understand me.
