The sixty-six year old made up some "cowcumber" salad!

What's that?...Ah yes! William is telling me that I am sounding like a "German-accented-Canuck,"..as he calls it,...when I use "words"..that he doesn't approve of!! I will correct myself,.."The sixty-six year old made some "cucumber" salad!!"

If I said that,.."Now mornin' I red up the table,..outened the lights,..put the "smeerkase'..in the icebox,..put up the eats,..and smartened the house!..,"....he would turn purple with embaressment and give me a ten minute lecture on how I should "Clean up your speech,..Mom! You know better than to talk like that!"

(That is a direct quote!!! As if his own habits of speech were all that great!!!")

This boy hates it when his two "aunties" come over. He understands perfectly what we are saying, but he hates to hear us all a'talkin' like that. You see,..when his two aunts and his cousins come over...Mr. William...(OH THE HORROR!!!!!).....SLIPS INTO BROGUE....AND SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE REST OF US A'TALKIN' AWAY!!! HA!!
