Washington, January 28 : British actress Kate Winslet has revealed that her two children would be baffled by her German accent when she read them bedtime stories, while practicing for her new film `The Reader'.

The Golden Globe Award-winning and Oscar nominated 2008 drama film features her as a Nazi concentration camp guard.

Winslet wanted to perfect her accent for the film, and thus she used it in her everyday life.

However, she revealed, her kids-Mia, 8, by ex-husband Jim Threapleton, and Joe, 5, with current partner Sam Mendes-were confused as to why their mother was speaking in a German accent.

"They got mightily fed up with me reading bedtime stories with a German accent. They said, ''''Mum, just be plain. Don''''t do any funny stuff like voices. Just be regular.'''' Then I had to say, ''''But, I''''m not regular and I''''m never going to be regular. When you''''re a teenager you''''re going to know that it''''s cool,''''" Contactmusic quoted her as saying. (ANI)
