Don't send a man to the grocery store.

My sister sent me this video and I love it for several reasons:  

  1. It made me laugh.
  2. It made me laugh out loud.
  3. I love a REAL southern accent 
  4. She reminds me of my mom who owns stock in Duncan Hines.  She bakes for everyone she knows (even some folks she doesn't) for celebrations of all kinds.
  5. I can imagine this EXACT situation happening with me and Jimbo.  There have been situations where I've felt compelled to tell Jimbo to "stop being an engineer".  He's VERY literal and therefore i have to be very specific in my requests of him .  Ex.  We met in DC for my company Christmas party a few years back (I had flown to NYC for another work event and took the train to DC) and I told him he would need to wear a suit to the DC event.  We started to get ready and I asked where his tie was and he said "you didn't tell me to bring a tie".  Lesson learned.
  6. Who doesn't love a pound cake?

  1. Did you know she's local? She lives near Burlington...town of Graham, I think. I met her when she performed in Clayton. Very gracious lady, exactly what you'd expect of someone with a genuine Southern accent.

    1. No I didn't! I figured she couldn't be from too far away with an accent like that and a husband that went to Duke. I bought tickets to go see her at Louisburg College in April for my mom's birthday. Should be a fun evening!
