At my house this morning...

My husband is asleep in bed, and my son comes in and says, “Dad?”

His voice is quiet, but I give him the mom “look” telling him without words that he shouldn’t wake his father.

Dad makes a noise that sounds like “Hmmm?” though it really means, ’I am unconscious, leave me alone.’

Jared looks back at me, then keeps going. “Dad? Will buy Robert a quad*? He really wants one!”

My husband makes an indeterminate noise, and I say, “Jared, don’t ask your father for promises while he is asleep – it’s not fair!”

“FINE!” Jared stomps from room, evil plot foiled (again).

Dad makes grunting/snoring/oblivious noise. Mom rolls her eyes.


*A quad is a four-wheel all-terrain motorized bike, like this. They are pretty powerful, and relatively expensive. We already own two: and adult size and a child sized one that Robert has outgrown. We have recently discussed buying one or two more so that we each have one to ride on out outings.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

I am amused, because I grew up in New Jersey, and moved to Arizona while in my late teens. That's it.
