New Girl- Are you from North Carolina?
Me- Yes.....twenty minutes down the road (I am COMPLETELY taken by surprise by the question). Why?
New Girl- You don't talk like everyone else around here.
(FSA lady is staring at new girl like she has grown a second head by now.)
Me- I have lived here all my life.
New Girl- Oh.
FSA lady- She sounds fine to me!!!!
What in the crap was she getting at? Do I NOT sound Southern enough for her liking? I was really rattled by the whole scenario. For pete's sake, I am a true G.R.I.T.S. through and through. If I just so happen to have good grammar..... sue me!

I HATE it when people ask me that same questions....it's like, what the heck, b/c my mom taught me how to talk and I don't kill the English language I'm "not a true country girl"??? WHATEVER! Like Leigh says, I'm a deep south girl...and VERY PROUD of it! Oh well, you can't help she is young and obviously dumb! lol! I can only imagine what she heard when she got back in the car!...lol...would of been fun to be a fly in that car!
Maybe you need to practice your redneck talk more. LOL! Not saying I think everyone around here sounds hillbillyish, but maybe she does. You should have asked her how you were supposed to talk!
