Lafayette, IN

I am going to be flying for my first time in June. I am going back to Lafayette Indiana. Where I was born and raised. Everyone always comments on how I say thing or what I say. Like I call my grandma, mammaw, and my grandpa, pappaw. I also call my great aunt, mammie and I called her husband Pappy. I guess they don't hear that stuff very often. I got made fun of for saying leart instead of learned all the time in Lafayette and they do the same in New York. My English teacher used to correct me all the time.

Just like people in small towns think that New York is nothing but city. Everyone in New York thinks that Indiana is one big cornfield. Which people from either state knows that's not true. There are more woods in Rochester than there are in Lafayette.

Oh they hardly ever get tornadoes here. I over herd this one guy say what's the point of having a basement? Storage. I was thinking "man he ain't from Indiana". Everyone in Indiana has to have a basement. We have one so if there is a tornado we will be good. Anything can happen.

Back to the flying thing. I am so excited. I can't wait to fly. Brad thinks I am going to be scared when the landing gear goes in and what not. I don't think so. Trey might get a little worried but I'm not sure about that either. I don't think he will if we don't act scared or anything. I am counting down the days to leave. Brad's friend Dan is coming up to visit on the 6th of June and leaving the 13th. That is right before we leave.
