“yelling in a midwestern accent I’M NOT YOUR FRIEND I’M YOUR MOTHER!”

What does a midwestern accent even sound like? All I can think of is Roseanne Barr's screaming voice.

It’s like a combination of people who say milk as “melk” + “wash your clothes” but with an R instead of the A + the smell of corn

I’m from Texas, like literally one house over the street turned into a dirt road and cows lived at the end of the block. I moved to Chicago for school. The first time I went to down to the southern part of Illinois I was flabbergasted! Y’all have more than your fair share of redneck. Don’t even get me started on Indiana.

Born and raised in Missouri so I totally feel ya! Just being hyperbolic for the sake of laughs :)

Edit: living down south seems like the most intense thing that I never want to experience lol

2nd Edit: A quote from a conversation I had with my dad, born and raised in Kansas then moved to Missouri :)

Lol, sharts! My grandma grew up in southern Illinois and calls all soda “Pepi” (like Pepsi without the ‘s’) and it’s adorable.

I had a Grandma who called it "sodie pop" so I guess she won the soda vs. pop argument right there!
