when are y'll fixin to come home again for a visit?
i think the accent is so cute. i had a roommate from san antonio and i totally picked some of it up by the time i moved. it's makes you sound sweeter. :)
I was a southern belle as a child. I had a little high pitched southern accent, although it was different than the texas drawl since I was in Alabama. We have videos and it is pretty dang cute.
Then, I moved to NY and during my first day at 1st grade everyone asked me why I talked so funny. I didn't even realize that I did. It must have worn off after a while because it is gone now.
I had no idea everybody didn't say "fixin' to" until just a few years ago! Just wait... by the time you and Andrew leave here, y'all will sound like Texans, too. It just sneaks up on ya!
sometimes i think i can hear Andrew speaking texan already....:)
ya, we've caught ourselves saying "y'all" a few times... uh oh! =) we'll be home soon... about a month!
