No Mommy it's A.T.

So this morning my son pulls out my E.T. dvd and asks me if he can watch it. This started a 15 minutes war over how you pronounce "E.T". He had watched it over at my mom's house a few days before and apparently picked up her southern accent. He was calling it "A.T".( Say it with a thick southern accent and see what you get.) Anyway, he goes on to say,"That little fellar's name is A.T." Yep, "that little fellar". I could feel my skin crawling at the very words. I never have been able to stand hearing kids talk in this manner. Ya know, southern. I know I have a southern accent because I grew up here, but I try to tame if possible. Instead of "ya'll" I say "you guys". Instead of "coke" I say "soda". He has picked up on those things, but obviously not enough. I don't know why it bothers me so bad, but it really does.

Hello, my name is Tori and I am anal.(Man, that's gonna cause some comments.) Notice I said I am anal, not I do anal.
