cultural divide

One of my cousins in Dublin sent me a message via bebo this morning that read:
i'm thinking about coming over for a few months, i cant get a job for my placement n i think im gonna start lookin over there!!! :)

Hit me back... :)
So I responded:
you have to!

when would you come? (that's what she said)
And she wrote back:
thats what who said??? what are u talkin about??

Since I don't really believe that Americans actually get the perks that we so often broadcast about ourselves (i.e. all are created equal, land of opportunity, the American Dream), at least I can get excited about this perk of being an American: that's what [s]he said jokes.
