Irish Conversation in the American Midwest #4
-I love spring; It's just so wonderful, don't you think?
-It is quite nice yeah. It's certainly colourful
-Oh you should see fall, it's much more colorful
-Well I have been here a few years; I have seen fall
-Isn't that so neat? When the leaves change their color?
-It can be very striking. The last couple weren't great ones though.
-Do you have that in Ireland?
-What? fall?
-The phenomenom where the leaves change their colors. Does that happen in Ireland?

Please tell me these overheard conversations are just you using your creative side. PLEEEEASSSE!
I feel such "pride" to be a Midwesterner when I read them.
Sorry - verbatim. The really bad ones I'm not publishing because nobody would believe me.
They're very specific to the individual involved and not meant to be a general swipe against midwesterners - I could do something similar in Ireland with certain individual Irish people speaking of the American midwest, but this is where I am and this is what I hear.
Durn it. I was afraid of that.
