Tonight as I helped Boy Child with his homework it became evident that he was confused by commas, parenthesis, and apostrophes. I tried to explain them several times and it was apparent I was merely confusing him further.
So I said, "Look. Look at this Boy Child."
And I wrote the following sentence:
Jason said, "Go to hell and die y'all."
Boy Child started laughing as I explained what each part of the sentence was. In fact, he laughed so hard he could hardly finish his work.
Jason came over to see what we were laughing about. Boy Child finished his work and went to his room.
Jason sighed. Deeply.
"I can't believe you wrote that," he frowned. "Did you really think that was appropriate?"
Before I could say anything else he continued,
"As if I'd say y'all. Come on Stephanie!"
Because if you live in our house? That was the most offensive part. For real.

As a Texan & former English teacher, I must put emphasis on how correct of a contraction y'all is!

I almost just fell out of bed laughing. I love it. I am soooo using that one with Princess when she gets older!
I'm not a y'all girl either... and that would be offensive to me. I think it's the last part of my yankeeness that i'm hodling on to.
Hilarious Y'all.
I thought it was Ya'll
Hm...I have to go ponder that in my next meeting....
Yeah, I'd be pretty offended by the y'all too. ;)
What, would "you'ins" have been more appropriate? :)
Y'all cut off the lights when you leave the room, y'hear? How's your Mom and 'em?
Yeah. Y'all talk weird down there in the south. LOL
This is why you need to come live with me. Liam is SO loving on letters lately and could use some of y'all's teachings.
Oh. y'all's. Something smells funny there.
Wait! Poop diaper from Liam! I'll leave it until you're here to help out!

Y'all snuck into my vocabulary after I'd been in Houston TX for a while, which makes it interesting since Im Norwegian LOL.
Reason #12154880 that you're goin' to hell LOL! Funny stuff though :)
Wait until they get into Algebra. It ain't fun, y'all. :)
LMAO... That IS really offensive!!!!!!
I am so sending my child to your house for homework!
I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't say y'all.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!
