Signs we're in the Midwest

I asked Ethan what he wanted to drink this afternoon, and he said "pep-uh-see" (Pepsi). Both the boys pronounce it like this, and I was wondering why and started thinking that we never drank "pep-uh-see" in Georgia, but there's a lot more of it up here. It was definitely available, but Brian and I both prefer Coke, and I really can't think of ANYONE that I know that lives in metro Atlanta and drinks Pepsi. The more I think about it, the more surprised I am that the Pepsi man even comes to the grocery stores down there. But he does, so someone in metro ATL drinks it....I've just never met them - ha!

Anyway, it made me a little homesick and also made me wonder what other influences our move to the Midwest will have on the boys. I'll never be a Pepsi drinker, though! But I do think it's funny how the boys say it.
