-Nora, where is Wally?
-He's upstay-ers.
-Nora, did you pee on the floor?
-Yay-uhs.
It makes me giggle.

Southern accent
I don't have a very strong southern accent. When I was young, I thought I had no recognizable accent. But our family went to a conference when I was in upper elementary school, and I learned otherwise. People came from a number of different states. A couple of girls from Maryland told me they liked my southern accent. Josh's accent is pretty mild as well. But somehow Nora, just in the last week or so started saying some words with extreme southern flair.

I think it's adorable when kids do this when their parents don't have a thick accent! But kids who do it when their parents do have them... somehow it just isn't as cute! Go figure. I look forward to hearing it!!!
ReplyDeleteMy friend Kristi doesn't really have a thick accent and her husband is from Costa Rica so their daughter Ivy comes out with "I'm scratchin' mah hay-ed" it absolutely cracks me up!

ReplyDeleteI'm loving the blog!
Also, I like how you used the example of asking Nora if she peed on the floor. It is funny that it is a legitimate question to be used as an example! :-)
