They're make movies about people like your dad and his relationship with you, happy for you and your dad.
Wow that's what I was thinking my last post, a great story. My childhood was different but the same in a way kind of a rags to riches story along with rediscovering my rich Cajun roots and coming home again so to speak.
We cajuns are a different breed. Whether we are in Louisiana or anywhere through out the country or beyond. Our roots and our influence remains strong.
Talk About! Sometimes your have to leave something to know what you had right in front of you. The smells, the sounds, the taste, the history, the pride, the landscape and the character of Louisiana is not found anywhere else on the planet.
People are such idiots. I get that sometimes too. I have two girls. My comeback is usually something along the lines of showing them the screen saver on my phone and saying "because boys aren't this cute."
One time when I was in Massachusetts a woman with a thick Bahston accent told me she loved my accent. I don't have a Cajun accent. From a lifetime of TV watching while growing up in Louisiana it's more standard Midwestern with a tinge of Southern.
And mine is so bad, I went to a tail gate with some posters from this site and they told me EYE had a tick one. I must admits that having people from Louisiana tell you that kinda phucks you up.
I taught in Donaldsonville my first two years out of college, and the kids would tell me (in an extremely thick Cajun accent, "You dot duh funny accent, yeah." Oh, really? I think many of them hadn't gotten out of town much. However, all Cajuns/South Louisianians have an accent. I used to not hear a Baton Rouge accent at all when I was growing up there, but I definitely notice one when I'm there. I probably go right back to having it, too, but then again, when I'm in Chicago, I always end up picking that accent up, too. Da Bears...
That would make sense since @Nutriaitch was the main one who would perpetuate that bs about me. He doesn't leave his pee roh much.
