Speakin’ Texan
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.”
