Southern Drawl...




This past week at the beach
a young lady looked at Baby Girl and told her she had an "accent."
Where upon my daughter politely responded,
"I know, I get it from my Mama and I'm proud of it!"

You go Baby Girl!
That young'un sure has gumption,
a smart dose of good old fashioned Southern charm,
and
a perfectly sweet and natural Southern drawl!




Really, though, if the truth be told
we are from the South;
vacationing in the South.
So...

When you venture below the Mason-Dixon line,
y'all,
be forewarned...
It will be you with the accent!

Hence, the pen name Southern Drawl.

  2. I agree! I love the southern accent! I'm still working on getting my Yankee husband to throw a ya'll into the conversation. It'll happen one day.

  7. I'm sure you have a beautiful accent! Every once in awhile we get students from the south with an accent and I love it, also love when they call me "Mam." I'm like, "Why can't the rest of you be this respectful?!" I wish I could hear my own accent with a fresh ear-hopefully it's not totally a Fargo accent. What a nice blog you have and you are a wonderful writer. I have to steal the Emerson lines-good to read on these busy September days.
