Do You Speak Kansan?

Two things that Kansans say that bother me:

"Do you want that in a sack?" No, actually, you can keep the burlap sack, I'll have my groceries in a bag please.

"Where do you stay?" Huh? Translation: Where do you live. Oh, now I get it.

Wow it feels good to get that off my mind.

Hi Abi! Was going thru my 'favorites' and saw that I had a link to your blog. Hadn't checked it out in awhile, so thought I'd stop by. Hope you have a GREAT 2nd year!

We lived in KS 8 yrs. The thing I remember was when someone told me that I had an accent and they guessed that I was from MN. Close but no cookies! I always figured that us 'Northerners' had a LACK OF accent! Ha!

From the mom of the little deaf kid. (Weren't you at Kyle C's when we gave Jenna a hard time about not waking the little deaf kid?)

God bless!

I am so glad to hear that you can understand my frusteration. I agree we are accent-less! Good to hear from you!
