#Hummm I should probably think about this more though because a lot of my vocabulary is actually influenced by my friends rather than family

AFOOZ I JUST REALIZED WHY I CALL STUFFED ANIMALS STUFFIES!!!!

I spent a considerable amount of my childhood in Canada AND IM PRETTY SURE "STUFFY" IS LIKE THE NORM THERE (this picture was taken at the Vancouver Aquarium but STILL)

I think I spell it like stuffie most of the time tho, it's cuter that way imo

okay that makes sense. canadians are weird (tho stuffie is the Correct Term and canadians are usually Correct)

my mom and i were talking the other day and we realised that most of my siblings say "'not i!' said the cow" in response to being asked if anyone could do things because SHE does it all the time and we must've picked up on it during our childhood. i figured for a while that i just said it cuz i was read that book several times in elementary school, but i am pretty sure that my mom rubbed off on me too. in a similar vein, my mom sometimes says "home again, home again, jiggity jig" when we arrive home after a long car trip and i never thought much of it, but she told us that apparently her mom would say it when she was a child and she and my aunt figured out only a few years ago that that rubbed off on them.

i think it's interesting to find where stupid words and phrases and parts of our dialect come from
