  1. ha, i think this was super interesting! People can speak so differently even though we live in the same area, I call the potato bugs "rollie pollies" and soda instead of pop, gym shoes are "sneakers" and my grandparents are nanny and papa. Otherwise I'm the same. Sorry I'm not a very diverse viewer, but I was glad to actually respond to your blog because I haven't in a long time. :)
