Kerrigan was working on English today and needed help coming up with adjectives for various words. She kept telling me the noun and I was NOT understanding her pronunciation. She repeated the word several more times and insisted it was not "walk" - what I thought she was saying.
I finally asked her to spell it. R-O-C-K. But she was saying rawk. "Oh, I said, 'Rock!' You need to open your mouth when you say it." She tried. I laughed.
"Say it like a Michigander," I advised. Her reponse? "But I'm NOT a Michigander; I'm an Indianer!"

Ha...too funny!
That is sooo hilarious! I get teased frequently from my hubby for my "Michigander" pronunciations. He is an Ohioan, so has a slight southern drawl. I guess my kids are in-between, since we've lived in Illinois and Ohio. When we were first married, we had a few "debates" as to what pronunciation was right. Of course, I know I'm always right! (Just kidding)
If you ever have seen much tv, most shows pronounce things like we yankees!
Indeed they do Sara,
Kerri is too funny!!
