It's finally happened. Last night, I actually used the words "I ain't got nothin" in seriousness without thinking about it and without cringing. It's happened before, but when only when I was repeating something a student had said to me. This came from my own accord. Seconds after it happened, I looked around to see if any of my students realized what had happened. They were oblivious. I couldn't and can't believe it.

Sorry Momma and Daddy, your baby is officially Southern.
