Yes Ma'am

I've always had a thing for accents. Doesn't really matter what type...English, Scottish, Irish, Italian, Southern...they are all deliciously yummy to me. I admittedly have taken for granted the Southern accent. Living in the South for so long and being with a Southern boy for five years took away the novelty of it.

However, since the ex and I broke up I haven't been around any Southern boys. I forgot what that accent can elicit from me. Like an internal monologue going something like this...'Oh hot damn!'.

Today I was wandering around the wine section at Cost Plus when a cute stocker dude walked up to me to ask if he could help me with anything. First thing I noticed was that he had an adorable Southern accent. Definitely didn't hurt the fact that he was adorable anyway. I said 'no, thank you' and he responded with a very sweet and very sincere 'yes ma'am'.

Whoa. Something about it almost knocked me off my feet.

California boys have definitely got a thing or two to learn from Southern men. Chivalry, manners, politeness and respect...just to name a few.

Boys from the South...if you want to see women falling all over your every syllable, move to California. You will pretty much have your pick of any lady here...well, as long as you are one of the sweet well mannered Southern boys. White trash Southern boys can stay home. No one wants to play with you.
