ASSIMILATION
It's happening, and it seems that I am powerless to stop it. I am slowly turning into a southern girl. You want proof, you say?
My dear friend Denise and I were on the phone the other night, and I dared to say to her, "I miss all you all."
Immediately, I knew what I'd done, and so I said, rather sheepishly, "I can't believe I just said that."
Denise's response? She laughed ... OUT LOUD!
Then, I realized yesterday, I was calling my kids, "Baby." In the south, when you are talking to a child, you might say, "What do you want, Baby?"
In the north, you are more than likely considered a pervert if you do that!
It was with shock that it dawned on me, "OH MY GOSH!! I have been using BABY with my kids!"
Good glory! The assimilation is beginning!!!
