One Saturday afternoon, about ten years ago, I decided to go completely retro and watch Coal Miner’s Daughter, the movie about Loretta Lynn. It’s a classic — Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones at their finest.
Juliet wandered into the family room and joined me. Having lived a fairly sheltered life when it came to movies and TV, she had never heard a really heavy Southern accent. She asked why they were talking that way… and I, of course, paused the movie and launched into a full lecture on accents, geography, and the fascinating ways language shifts. She probably regretted asking.
What really sealed her regret, though, was that after the movie ended, I spent the rest of the day perfecting my own Southern accent. It was awful. VERY annoying. Super twangy. Every stereotype rolled into one. Juliet eventually begged me to stop.
The best part? To this day, if I need Juliet to do something, all I have to do is threaten to break out the accent. Works every time.
A pair of earrings to go with all your black outfits - no cowboy hats required!
Sterling silver, stainless steel, enamel, obsidian
