Read this passage from The Speech Accent Archive:

Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station

  4. This is so cute and I call them "buggies" too! By the way...this might be because I've been in Bama for a few years now, but when rain falls while the sun is shining it's when "the devil is beating his wife"....not sure why! Haha.
