squawcreekkid ... I got alittle short story to tell ya, bout my youngest baby(who's now 28 year old). When she went to kindergarten for the first day.... She came home with a note from the teacher, and it read....; I'm not sure what language is spoken at your home, but if you could, PLEASE try to teach your daughter proper English.... Because she says; "Crick" and not Creek.... and "AIN'T" instead of ISN'T,,, AND "AIN'T" isn't a WORD... (I thought it was funny how the teacher spelled "AIN'T" properly...🤠🐴) ,, at the end of the note the teacher writes; But I do love the way she always says; "yes ma'ma" .... (My baby, finished her kindergarten grade at the VERY TOP OF HER CLASS ROOM, THE SMARTEST ONE, PURE COUNTRY👼🏼... She cowgirled up, & held her little head high,,, 👼🏼🤠🐴... & WALKED ON...🐴🤠 ✝️📑📖👣🙏🙌🙌🙌) NEEDLESS TO SAY,,, WE-(MY WHOLE FAMILY) HAS NOT CHANGED THE LAUGAGE THAT GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF GAVE US TO SPEAK,,, We originated from Dyersburg Tennessee, I was picked on as a youngin' for the way I talked,,, up north where we lived when I was young.
