So instead of writing today, I'm going to do this accent meme thing that's been passed around the interwebs here lately. Supposedly, there is no Midwest accent, and I do tend to think that any words I'm mispronouncing are thanks to my parents and their silly Pennsylvania accents.
If you're really dying to read something of mine today, you can find my new piece Counted up at Turning River.
Record aloud the following:
- Your name and/or username

- What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
- What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
- What do you call gym shoes?
- What do you say to address a group of people?
