    same.. its easier this way..

    I actually have a funny story about this..

    I was in 6th grade and told the maid I was going to ride my bike to go pick up some coke and asked her if she needed anything.. Before I could say another word she burst into tears and ran and gave me a hug saying "no honey no, please dont do that. I love ya honey, dont do that" and kept going on.. I had no idea what she was talking about until I came back with a 12 pack of coke and was happy to see me..

    some people..

    Oh geeze! That gave me the laugh I needed today.
    I say "anythin" (n e thin) rather than anything.
    I also say "naught" instead of nothing (it was all for naught)
    And "Save" rather than except (All, save a few, decided to leave)
    I also say "Ugly" a lot but not in the way that everyone else does. Everyone else uses it to describe something unattractive or unpleasant. I use it in a more positive way to describe something odd, wierd or awkwardly funny (Did you see that movie? It was so Ugly! or It was ugly how that dog was chasing its tail)
    Usually "Ugly" is preceded by "Ew" (usually pronounced "ill") in the stead of laughter. In our grandmothers house laughter was prohibited. It made her angry. Everytime we would laugh she would yell at us that it attracted bad spirits and it was disgusting so we adopted the term Ew! to keep us from laughing. Now we say it as we laugh. (*While laughing* EW! That episode was so ugly!)
