I Said Pillar!

It's over!  I have reverted to total hickdom.  I have always prided myself on not speaking the dialect.  I can't loose the southern twang but I can say the words correctly...I thought.

I have always  pronounced words correctly and only used ain't for a dramatic effect. 

I heard myself say pillar instead of pillow and I knew it was over.
 I am Jubilation T Cornpone reborn (The statue, not the lady)

For the color of  a flower I will now say yeller, in fact, I will even call the flowers, flares from now on. I will no longer have yellow flowers. From this point forward, I shall have yeller flares, I shall look out the winder, I will put pillars on my bed, and I will become meller while relaxin'. 

I shall now say oncet and twicet and I shall hear a Si Reen when the police come fer me.  Nothing will be pretty any more, it will be purty.  I will bake with flare (flour) not to be confused with the yaller flare.  My dogs will now officially be "dawgs".

How could I know, all those years visiting Dogpatch USA would cause me to end up in this corndition??
