A story from the bayous. I was visiting an old friend whose mother came from France, lived in Louisiana, never really learned much English, and now was living with her daughter. I loved to hear her speak because she was so charming and shy, but underneath it all was as sharp as a tack--or so we thought. One day she pulled her chair in front of the television set when some politician was on. I think this was during the gubernatorial campaign, and this gentleman was asking people to vote for him. He said it this way: "Won't you hep me?" And this endearing old lady replied, using the same southern accent that "Yes, I will hep you." We started to laugh when she also said that he comes to visit every day, because she thought he was inside the t.v. set. and reminded us that we should be nice to our guests. :lol:
