The Misunderstanding of Paula Deen

Ironically, I now suffer from writer's block. :P My mind is totally blank. I guess I'll just tell an interesting little story. My grandmother tends to make... mistakes with the English language. And sometimes they can be embarassing. So I've gotten to the point where I correct her some of the time. She's gotten used to it, and finds it a bit funny. So the other day I was watching Emeril over at her house and a chef named Paula Deen came on. But I couldn't tell for sure that it was her. While I was thinking about it, Grandma was telling a story: "Ya know, we wouldn't have flowers without bees. They have to pollenate everything." I said, "Uh-huh. I think that's Paula Deen." And she said... "Really? I've always pronounced it pollenate." :lol: And as she said once in an IM to me, "ok the old saying laughingat you are with you JUst so hhey are laughing." (sic)
