My Wisconsin accent has gotten thick. I have never noticed such prominent vowels climbing out of my mouth as I have in the past few months. I sound like John Candy from Home Alone. I sound like Mrs. Generic. It’s kind of awesome, and kind of sad. It’s a sad/awesome smoothie, blended together with coconut milk. It’s probably time to rein it in.
Me, soon, inevitably.

My dear Kit,
Do not fret over your accent. Alas, we are in Wisconsin and there is no getting around it. Just speak naturally, and if you happen to have a slight accent, it’s all good baby! Maybe in a few years the Wisconsin accent will be hot, like how Australian accents are hot now, eh?
haha, girl ain’t frettin’… the wisconsin accent is already hot!
