twang.

poor ada is picking up a louisiana southern twang. it is bad. her innocent young mind is so malleable these days.

yes has turned into yea-ah. long and drawn out.

milk is now mee-ilk.

please is pah-leese.

you get the idea.

last night i told her that it has to stop. she didn't sound like the smart little girl baba and i were raising when she spoke like that.

it is only days until i get a call from her teacher saying that she is telling the other children that they don't sound smart when they talk like tha-at. i'll keep you posted.
