Cultures

So, I just got home from work and want to tell someone why I am laughing in my head. Stephen is at work, and it's midnight, so I figured I would post it.

I am going to type out the conversation I just had on my way to the parking lot from work...I am still laughing!!

Some background, I am walking with Josephine who is a tech in the ER with me. She is from Africa and many people find her abrasive. I love her...she says things like, "wow, you are really pretty now, you were not so pretty pregnant. You do not even look like the same person!" Also, the way I met her was when I was 6 months pregnant, and she came rubbin all over my belly without even knowing my name. Keep in mind I have to ask her to repeat everything she says because of her accent.

Bob, the security gaurd is walking us out. Bob has the thickest southern accent I have ever heard. He is a fairly short fella with a belly that hangs over his uniform pants. He has worked in security forever, and It cracks me up whenever he gets mad at our psych patients. I also have to ask Bob to repeat most of what he says.

Beth: Man I am starving

J: You eat when you get home this late?

Beth:Heck yeah!

J: Whatchu eat? That is why you still got tat behind on you!

Beth: What did you say?

J:You heard me...What do you eat?

Beth: Peanut M&Ms

J:What dat?

Beth: Its candy.

J:Mmhmm.

Bob: (remember thick southern accent) You know, the kind that melts in you mouth, not in your hand.

J: What?

Beth: Smiling.....

Bob: Kinda like Lays potato chips...Ya cant eat just one.

J: What?

Beth: still smiling.

We continue to walk to our cars...Bob is smiling to himself....probrably thinking about how funny he is...Josephine is lecturing me about parking in the volunteer parking...and I am laughing. I love living in Marietta!!!

Sunday, I plan to post an update with pictures. I have pics from Todd Carlton's wedding, and i will take pics this Saturday at Jenni Boone's wedding. Plus pics of the house. It looks so weird!!
Have a fun weekend!
