Southern wolf.

I wish I had a southern accent.

My last client of the night was up visiting her daughter from North Carolina and I couldn’t help but envy that southern drawl. ย It’s like words hang suspended in the mouth for a while and – magically – no matter how unpleasant the content of the conversation is, that accent naturally implies an understood, “…but I really don’t mean it in the worst way.”

It takes all of about 15 minutes with a southerner before I start slowing down myself.

Upon arriving home tonight, however, I lost my southern accent for the howling sounds of a wolf pack. ย Esther and I needed to express how much we missed each other, so we carried on for a while.

AAAAaaaaaOOoooOoOOoOoooo!

Southern?

Wolf?

Square Piece?

*shrug*

Depends on the day, I guess… Or the hour.

    Awwww Esther. She’s so sweet. <3 Speaking of accents, at least once a week a table will ask me "where are you from?". Maybe even twice a week. It is soooooo annoying. Only because then, I tell them that I live in Woodstock but they are like "No, where are you FROM?" So then I get to tell them that I was born in KY, went to 9 different schools growing up, lived in MD, WV, PA and now VA and yes, indeed I AM an Irish gyspy. People just can't get over this so called accent that I have. In my mind I feel like I sound like everyone else around here. ๐Ÿ˜›
