LOVE this post, Katie! It made me smile. Especially the Baptist influenced ones...
This list cracks me up, and if you are referring to Maryland as the south, just so you know most southerns do not consider Maryland the south.
Rylee and I should sing songs together...we probably know all the same ones :) Can't complain about the "ma'am" thing, it's very polite it is a southern thing though...
i find "ma'am" highly annoying. and rylee doesn't say it to be polite. she thinks it's funny. as do i.
gotta love the bullet posts, they are your classics.
I will never come close to your bullet posts. Although I may try.
Very funny! I can relate on quite a few!
Yes, being a mother does amazing things -- I never thought I'd put on a shirt with chewed up cracker stuck to it and wear even though I noticed it was there.
Loved the J-E-S-U-S to bingo - that's hilarious! Evan threatens to injure himself, too. I'm glad to know it's normal! Before you know it, your kids will be talking with that southern twang! Ha ha!
Why is it that sombody else's stuggles make us laugh and feel better? I have never thought of changing up the BINGO song with JESUS. Does Rylee tell you to have a "blessed day?"
