I Just Talk Funny

So all this week I've been flying in/out of Atlanta. I love flying the southern system. The destinations are great, the people are kind, the manners are good, and the kids are so cute & respectful with their yes ma'am, no ma'am, please and thank you's. It's the same way I was raised with my mom being from Mississippi. People on these flights don't look at me funny if I say y'all, they know what fixin' means, & cute little ladies don't take offense to me calling them ma'am. Something I get alot of no matter where I fly, but esecially out of SLC, is people asking me where I'm from. They say they can't place my accent.

The other night I was working a flight from Houston to Atlanta, two of my first class guys had a bet going if I was from Texas or Georgia. They were shocked when I told them they were both wrong, they were sure I was from the south. I gave them the standard, "I'm from Utah, but I have a southern mama, so I just talk funny". I think I just have a bad combination of Utah's hick accent & saying some other words different because of how I learned them, we lived in Texas when I was learning how to talk. I guess I'm a southern girl at heart. Hootie's sister's thought I was weird when we were dating, because of the way I say pajamas(pa-jaw-maas). I know this is kind of a lame post, but it's for my friends that used to make me repeat myself whenever I said penny & fixin'. Just to let y'all know, I still talk funny!
