“I have a friend from Mississippi and I love her accent. She’s 70 and is proud of it.
Oh, they do have the best drawl! Long and soft.
Quick story, there was a receptionist here in ATL that was in her 80’s. This was about 20 years ago. She and her sister were spinsters that still lived in the house they were born in.
I was doing some software training for the non-profit staff. Sitting by her during lunch, she turned to me and said (told in an accent similar to what you love about your MS friend), “I know how we can get rid of all these Yankees”.
I said, “Sue, tell me how?”
She replied, “Just turn the air conditioning off.”.
Lol. That’s funny. Thanks for sharing.
BTW, my friend was Miss Mississippi 1968. She’s still beautiful.
