How do you know if you have lived in Norfolk too long?
A- When you pick your daughter up from school, and while climbing in the back says, "Ethan, you are in my spot and I am not going to sit in no car seat."
Yuck. Mom cringes. Grammar is horrendous. Say her name and give her a look that she is wondering what in the world she just did. " Do not ever say that again. You do not put the word no in front of a word like that. You may say "the car seat". ( Not knowing the actual rule of grammar to tell her.) She is looking at me like I am off my nut. Bad grammar = Mom pet peeve. Sentence structure apparently isn't as important.
