Wow,

The more I read, the more I understood, and the more I realized I sound like that when I talk.

I went on a trip to NYC and Washington DC a couple years back with this lodge i belong to. Well there were 5 of us from minnesota going, as well as aboot 150 other people from around the country. Well there were also quite a few southerners going on the trip too. I, as well as everyone else, thought their accents were hilarious (y'all) but when they tried telling me i had an accent, that was the last straw. There was no way i have an accent! I may be up here in da frotzen Nort, but everyone on da tv talks like i do. I had no cluuuueee vat they was talking aboot. Well the plus side was that some of the southern girls thought my so called "accent" was cute but i still tink dey are da ones who be talking funny, dontcha' know
