So, I knew that moving here would affect the way I said things. I pick up people's accents without trying and/or noticing. Apparently, I let some of the southern drawl out from time to time and Zachariah never lets it go unnoticed. I must say, it isn't the worst sounding accent I've heard. I'm actually pretty fond of it. But with the right words, when it becomes too redneck, or when certain people speak the whole-southern-accent-thing sends me into uncontrollable giggles.
Things I now say that I never thought would come out of my mouth:
"y'all need more sweet tea?"
Ma'am and sir just roll right off my tongue.
Words I had never heard before but are now just part of our vocabulary: kin-folk
I love the south. We always say this, though, "we love living here but we're so glad we ain't from around these parts"
Just thought I'd share a little about life in Alabama.
