Thankful, November 12

For those that know me, you will know that I love my accent. I love all accents, really---well, maybe there are a few I don't love, but most. When I went out to BYU I was talking to some other parents and something was said about my accent and the man sai "Oh, it's not too BAD!" What? Bad? I'm sure he meant "THICK, or HEAVY, or DEEP" In this day of "Anywhere, USA" I think it is accents that distinquish us from each other. Our cities are looking more alike, our homes are more similar, etc. So, I am thankful that when I took this little quiz I came up firmly a "GRITS"--Girl Raised In The South. I didn't see a Cajun accent on the questionaire? How would that work out? But, mine is not a cajun accent....it is pure South! Love it!

That is a fun quiz. I took it and I was a Midlander. Which, I am!! It was a fun quiz. I bet my husband would be Southern too. I laugh at him because he has to say Ink Pen, so I will know he is talking about a pen not a pin. I love the southern accent too. It's one of the things that made my knees weak when I met my husband. LOL!!

It says I'm a Midlander too, which fits w/ many people who say I don't have a LA accent.

That's OK though b/c I know where I'm from...and I'm happy to be a Cajun! :)
