They Talk Funny!
Published Jan 01, 1900
A mom in Virginia was talking with her four year old son, Brent. He asked her why all their relatives from Wisconsin "talk funny" and sound like their noses are plugged up. "They have a different accent," she explained. "Everybody talks in different ways. To them, we sound like we talk very slow, and all our words are d-r-a-w-n out." His eyes got big, and he whispered seriously, "You mean they hear funny, too?"
