So….
You know there’s a difference in speech patterns between being FROM the South, moving North and, once again, being IN the South. I just got back from Memphis and Atlanta (but mostly Memphis where 100% of my birth family lives) where I noticed that I’m the only one who has lived in the North, talks faster and talks with my hands. And, no one knew who “Crazy Eddie” was. Can you believe that? I guess it can be distracting when my hands are all over the place but it’s such a New York/New Jersey thing…I just can’t shake that. I also can’t shake saying “y’all” either. Matter of fact when I first met Lew and was cooking dinner for him, I asked if he wanted spaghetti, and looking directly at him, I used “y’all” instead of “you”. I still talk with my hands and say “y’all”. Wait, I’ve been here for 27 years! I’ll just keep using the “identification deficit syndrome” excuse for my speech problems. And now that the synagogue is OPEN, I’ll try to shed those mixed up proclivities to….I don’t know what! Hope to see you at services where you can evaluate my progress!
