These Are Days



I got made fun of last night for how I say pecan.

It was in reference to a scenario where my Bubie would have asked when his mother was sending a pecan pie.

I was told it will not be brought to me if I ask for it with Yankee speak

And if I did get it. He'd tip a ton of money and walk away with his face in shame.

AG response in AG's head with the voices: More pie for me, bitch!

Oral response: It's how I talk. I am not wrong.

AG hangs up phone later and thinks to herself: Forgetaboutit. The guy was recruited not by Amherst, but by Williams. Enough said.

*That was 10K performing at Bill Clinton's inaguration. I remember watching it in Scranton, PA of all places! In four more years, I will be watching Barack and Joey again while riding shot gun on a couch hopefully in Princeton, Cambridge, or Austin. 2016: that's just gravy.

  1. Yes, but do you Pahk Yahr Cahr in Harvard Yahrd? Now that is an accent! So do you say it "pee-can" or "pee-kahn"?

  2. Why won't people accept that you say what you want, when you want, HOW you want!?

    My dad says it with a b instead of a p.

  3. That's wrong. Whoever he was, I apologize on his behalf. I also suspect that upon reflection, he realized that to be ashamed of your accent is both silly and inappropriate, since your accent is part of what makes you who you are.

    It is my guess that if he has any brains at all, that he would humbly beg your forgiveness for acting like anything you do could shame him.
