   Thank goodness, I can’t wait to get my 4 yr old onto blogging.

   (Um, sarcasm intended. My kids are Luddites who go to a montessori school and play with wood toys there. Today, the 4 yr old baked blueberry muffins as a class. I expect they’ll scrub the floors tomorrow.)

   We’re not talking about a blog, IC, we’re talking about Korrektiv Preschools springing up all all across America. Wherever there’s a Montessori, just around the corner will be a Korrektiv Kids Academy. (Sort of like Tully’s moving in across from every Starbucks.) Korrektiv Kids will learn to speak with a southern accent and say “yes, sir” and “yes, ma’am”. There will also be lots of fun activities like learning how to make whiskey and such.

   Learning to make whiskey…

   Don’t you mean moonshine?

   Or if these schools are more refined…mint juleps?

   p.s. you’re all southerners? My blog joy is complete. I grew up in VA and went to grad school in TN. A job brought me to the frozen tundra.

   Naw we ain’t from the south, IC, but one of us is married to a lovely white lady from Chattanooga. And we all like that the south lost the war and produced Flannery O’Connor and Walker Percy.

   That would be the War of Northern Agression you are speaking of.

   My kids got a real kick out if the donkey cart rides in Charleston where they got the “real” history of the era.

   My kids are already hoosiers, I don’t know if I could handle having them be southerners.

   It is hard enough for me (a northern Illinois lass) living in this part of Indiana, where they sound like they are from the south, I keep wondering if I should tell them they are north of the Mason/Dixon.
