In case you hadn’t noticed from the opening paragraph of the last post, it was a bit different from my usual style of writing. But it sure is in keeping with my speaking voice!
Example: “Hon, would you check the, because I did twice already and I’m too tired to make another trip, but it isn’t working but I didn’t see anything wrong with it, or maybe last week the plumber did something to it, but this morning when I was getting meat from the freezer I noticed it.”
Even after almost fourteen years of marriage, my beloved still laughs at me. However, he almost always has come to understand what I’m talking about. It is a tendency to think faster than the words transfer themselves into spoken language. And yes, I suppose there is a tad of disorganized phraseology there as well. Even friends are used to it, and just about when their eyes start to look a bit glassy I go into my Buster Brown routine and my sadly defective command of the English language is soon forgiven.
Maybe that is also why I love some of the old country lyrics. This, from Waylon, is one of my faves because it so sounds like what I would say: “Maybe I should have, but I never told her, so she never knew he was bad.”
At least he remembered to include the subject of the sentence.
