Until I learned to drawl, which took about a year, I simply could not engage in conversations with Texans. I did frequently hear, "Oh, honey, I didn't understand a word you said, but I could listen to you talk allllll day!"

It was a shock coming to Canada and finding that, not only could everyone understand me perfectly well, but they also had no particular patience for my rambling on and on.

I miss Texans.
