Mom was always a little sad when the "Ma'am" wore off and we were back to our disrespectful little midwestern selves.
As a small child, I used the Southern "Coke" to refer to fizzy fountain beverages of all flavors, but finally settled on the more prevalent (here in the flatlands, anyway) "pop" of my peers when I got older. But, I don't think I would start an argument with someone that calls it "soda."
Dad was the only one that would "Warsh" his hands before dinner. All the rest of us preferred to wash them.
I got here via your recent Rocket-Propelled Romance series, and the title of your post compelled me to read and comment. I'm enjoying "String Theory" - you write very well.
