I'm assuming this is your sister.

I guess it could be your mother, but I'm having trouble getting my head around that notion -- my mother wouldn't ever utter many of the nouns found on that page.

I guess it also could be your daughter. But I find that even more difficult to get my head around.

Either way, I see the family resemblence in the writing. I wonder if it comes out in other ways...

p.s. I guess it could just be an alter ego...

This post brings up what's sort of a ongoing issue of mine: it seems related to what the linguistic types like to call dialect prejudice. Not that, despite trying, I am immune to said prejudice, I hasten to add. An example I didn't give in the post I just linked to is how much the construction "Why don't we set down and talk about it." bothers me. You set things down, not people.

It is indeed my sister. My mother does not blog, and I have yet to propagate.

I think my sister writes real good.
