My Southern Belle

Can I Get Some Grits with My Milk?





I have provided a table for your reading enjoyment. This chronicles McKenna's journey into Southern language. These are her new versions of common words.



SOUTHERN WORD


1.)MaKeenah
2.)ageen
3.)tawlet
4.)y'all
5.)Ah Man


NORTHERN TRANSLATION


1.)McKenna
2.)again
3.)toilet
4.)you
5.)Amen



She will forever be scorned upon by Northern English teachers.

I can't believe she has taken to the "language" so quickly. Makes me wish Vivi had stayed in Georgia so I could hear "Mama" in a thick southern twang. :)

I can't believe Aunt Carol made a reference to "Gone With the Wind"-your favorite movie. If you want McKenna to be Miss Scarlett she will need red hair. Brady will need a haircut to be Mr. Butler. You know that kids adapt quickly, so I would guess when you are in Ohio, McKenna will talk like our McKenna-not North Carolina. Too funny. Love. . .
