"I had people follow us in the store to listen to us talk! Had my granddaughter with me and they were fascinated with our speech and manners? Evidently the folks up North NEVER speak to a stranger, I would say hello or good morning, afternoon, evening to someone and they acted as if they smelled something bad. Short tempered, frowns, suspicious, and so very outspoken! I could not understand them any more than they could understand me, BUT (again) i was much more tolerant than most of the ones I met were. I found most people rude."
I never thought about the gift of gab we have lol. I have had conversations with complete strangers in the store that go on and on. Then there are other times I start to strike up a conversation and the other party looks at me like I have three or four heads lol. Especially if I hear someone looking for something or I know of a cheaper price I seem compelled to jump right in and help even if they don't want the help lol. Again antother trait I got from family. i sometimes go some where with my dad, He will ask random questions even at gas stations like "where ya yall headed, or how you like that chevy ,lol. Sometimes they talk and sometimes they don't . Dad just says ,well they must be havin a rough day ,or that feller ain't too friendly. LMBO.
