That reminds me of when I talked to my best friend from elementary school years later when my mother got her phone number from her mother. She'd been a lot of places and had settled down in Boston, I think.
We had been inseparable in the way that only grade school girls can be. And depending on whether you were an adult or a child, I think we were probably delightful or insufferable. We had vocabulary contests, and similar fun games, and we were both rather proud of keeping our pronunciations generic.
As we awkwardly chatted, I thought how northeastern her accent had grown. And she said "You really sound New Orleanian now!!!"
Gosh I miss her. How many people can you find who enjoy vocabulary contests?
