Puppy Chow and Bubblers
Ah yes, I nearly forgot...
It turns out the bubbler theory is correct. Indeed, northeaster Wisconsin seems to be the only place in the world where a water fountain = a bubbler. However, some people from Cleveland have heard of a double bubbler, which is a water fountain with two spouts or something? I'm not quite sure.
Also, I discovered yesterday that many Ohioans don't know what puppy chow is. Arlene from California knows puppy chow as "muddy" something or other, and Sarah from Georgia knew what it was upon my explanation. But Dave, Bryan, and Mickey had never experienced the joy that is puppy chow until Mike's mom sent him some! I was shocked to learn this.
I also got in my first mini-fight (all in good fun!) about pop vs. soda. It is not pop, in spite of what everyone here says! It's SODA! Such a minor thing that bothers so many people. It's amusing.
I still get made fun of frequently for my WisCONsin accent.
I'm proud.

That's cute. ;) I noticed all of that when we moved up here in third grade...I grew up saying "pop," and the first time someone said "bubbler," I had no idea what they were talking about. ^^;
