The boots, temporarily at rest after a long week of speakin’ Texan.
The Five-Year-Old, who is a rabid Auburn Tigers fan: “Grandpa, I like the way they say ‘Awl-burn’ in Texas.”
Grandpa: “Awl-burn?”
The Five-Year-Old, with a hint of a swagger and the slightest kick to her white leather cowboy boots: “Yes. Awl-burn. I like to speak Texan when I’m talking about Awl-burn. I usually speak Boston.”

About Shala Howell
Writer of things ranging from optical network switching white papers to genetic testing patient education materials to historical fiction set in an 1880s asylum. When I’m not scratching my head over pesky characters who refuse to do things how I want them done or dreaming of my next book (which will of course be much easier to write and research than the current one), my writerly self can be found sifting through the stacks in my church’s archives looking for a few good stories to tell, blogging about life with a very curious Six-Year-Old at Caterpickles.com, or musing about books and the writing life at BostonWriters.wordpress.com.
