That's hilarious! Reminds me the time the girl at the check out asked me if I ever soak my peanuts in coke. (Never mind, some people around here say peanuts funny. Alls I'm gonna say.)
A lot of people from Texas and Oklahoma live in California's central valley. Their sweet dialect is everywhere. This "dialog" actually happened -- it is one of those stories that often gets retold in our family. Thank you, Rebecca, for reading at 🍁Leaves!
Thanks, Jenise. I liked Cheri myself! I love to work with dialect and I could hear her voice in my head. You ever do that? I taught English to immigrant adults for a long time, so working with dialect has been a delightful part of my life!

🤣
You could have asked her to show you how to do that. Probably did.
Spitting out my coke you made me laugh so hard.
Ha ha ha ha! Did you have ahssenit?
Bahaha! 🤣
nice little story. I enjoyed the dialog of Cheri.
Thanks, Scott. True story, by the way. (Names changed to protect the guilty.)
🤣 Your rendering of Cheri's accent is soooo beautiful! Such a great story, Sharron.

That's so cool! I love that it's a real conversation - although I'm not surprised: everything you write sounds so authentic!
Dang funny!
Cheri was a funny girl, though I don't think she meant to be. We loved her! I am glad she made you smile, James
Love the last paragraph of this, Sharron. Just perfect.
Thanks, Meg, for dropping by 🍁Leaves. I am happy you found Elmer's Cafe to be entertaining. I appreciate your comment!
What is not to like?! Love colorful accents! 😊
Me too! Do YOU have an accent, Ron?
I am sure, to someone!
Loved it .. . had to think a bit though.
Well, I have to confess, when I drink white wine I do want ahssenit! A small liter is good enough for me. How about you, Janice
absolutely!! ahssenit or not.
Hah!
Ha! State Route 99! I have fond memories of that road before I-5 was built. You painted a delightful portrait of Cheri!

A fun story and absolutely delightful character! Thanks, Sharron! Also, Jim’s comment had me busting up. 🤣
He is a funny man, with an interesting take on the world. It delights me that you read my stuff, Justin. There is just so much to choose from!
