Recreated from real life conversation at our home.
Those who know me...
Tell me, I don't really talk like that,do I?
Hmm...no wonder I'm having trouble teaching my Liberian children phonics.
But I recorded myself and think I talk just fine.
A few loving family members think otherwise.
I shouldn't have married a Chicagoan.
Them and their fancy talk...Boats and Bags. What do they know,anyway.
By the way, it is bouts and baygs people! Get it right!
Warmly,
A Patchwork Mommy
