Best reason to teach your child Southern manners
Emerson's class had a module about honey at school, and she wanted to try some of the recipes included in the information packet. So we went to New Life Natural Foods to pick up some organic honey, after having read this story recently. At the counter, Emerson began telling the cashier about the module.
"An' she tole us all about how beeth make honey, an' it wuz AWEthome!" Emmie said. She sometimes reverts into a sort-of lisp when she's excited.
"Who was it who came to your class?" the cashier asked.
"Ummmm... I don't brenembered her name," Emmie said.
"Was it Deborah Sasser? She's just wonderful," the cashier asked.
Emmie shook her head: "I don't fink so. Her name started wif Miss."
OMG, I think she was a teacher of mine back in Colombia! All my teacher's names started with Miss, too! I think it is such an American thing! :-)
