I’ll Never Be Southern

I was born in Dallas and  I actually spent approximately four years of my life within the state lines. Because of this I had dreams of being a Southern Belle. I can be honest and say it had a lot to do with the accent. I always wanted to hold my ‘r’ for no reason at all.

After attending my mother’s wedding, I have to give up this notion. I’m a Californian, who should be a New Yorker.

That is all I’m saying.

“I’m a Californian, who should be a New Yorker.”

I loved this observation. It paints such an interesting picture. (I’m a Floridian who should have been a Seattleite.)

Lol. Well, from my understanding New Yorkers don’t hold back. I did not hold back when I should have. I now have a hole in my tongue even still.

Unless they’re in Publishing. Ha.

LOL. I’m thinking of Janet Reid. I’m totally a New Yorker even by publishing standards.
