Born in Bridgeport Ct. and spent 1/2 my life there then the other 1/2 in Clayton NC. I learned that a drank, meant a Mountain Dew, not a Scotch and water, you carried your kids to the doctor not drove or had to take, u was fixin to do things, not I’m going to do. you were about hungry, not I’m getting hungry. The most confusing one was I’m fixin To go up under the house. With that being said after a year I knew exactly what everyone was saying, I knew dicks hat band was tight but I still don’t know y, I knew where up country was, and a place called yander.
After 27 years I was mashing the brake, and curing lights on and off, and I never felt so at home either.
