Accent

A woman from Virginia was talking with her four year old son. He was asking
her why all their relatives from Wisconsin talked funny and sounded like
their noses were plugged up.

"They think we have an accent," she replied.

"But they have an accent, right?" he asked. "They talk funny?"

"Everybody talks in different ways" she tried to explain. "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, "Oh, no. You mean they hear
funny too?"
