fast talker

Blah blah blah I am feeing majorly blocked when it comes to my dear ol' blog, so I thought doing this accent vlog would be a good kick in the pants. Because if I can't write, I sure can TALK. And let me go ahead and apologize, because I talk way too fast sometimes. 

 

Here are the instructions:

Say the following words: Aunt, route, wash, oil, theatre, iron, salmon, caramel, fire, water, sure, data, ruin, crayon, toilet, New Orleans, pecan, both, again, probably, spitting image, Alabama, lawyer, coupon, mayonnaise, syrup, pajamas, caught

And answer these questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that curls into a ball when you touch it?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you use to change the TV channel?

Don't you want to do one, too? You do. I just know it. Thanks to Swistle, Jonna, and Lee for inspiring me! 

So: future topics. Why Mississippi is driving me crazy. Like, gonna make me lose my mind, up in here, kind of crazy. Also, anniversary getaway, and general Thomas awesomeness.

I was just going to start on all those papers I need to get correcting when I saw that you posted! I said to myself, "Holy crap, Sam posted!" And scampered right on over. I loved see the actual YOU! Most things we say the same, but Soda??? NO. It is POP. Really. I have missed you! xoxo

Oh, I love your sweet little accent. And your voice/pitch sounds exactly like I have imagined it. :) I'm like you, I don't want to be "Aunt Lee" because it's too short. I've been "Auntie Lee-Lee" to my cousin's kids (who are all the nieces/nephews I'll probably ever have). And "Cousin Lee," which I also adore.

Oh my goodness, Sam! You are just so adorable and I loved this!

The way you say 'caramel' reminded me of a funny story. When I was in DC a few years ago, I was at a Starbucks and asked for a caramel mocha. Except I say "CARmel." The lady could not for the life of her understand what the heck I was saying! She finally went to the menu and started pointing and things. Made me laugh.

I gots to do this accent vlog thing. So clever.
