Klara has two speech registers. One is the lofty “what is this cleaning up of which you speak, mommy?” that cracks me up and reliably gets her out of cleaning.

The second is the Southern accent of “Ahm freezin’ mah buhtt off” that also has me in stitches. We don’t know anybody with this accent, so I have no idea where it comes from.

      I don’t think she does, but her friends probably do, and this could be where it’s coming from.
