My Family Background

Try to make sense of this. Its like trying to interpret Shakespeare. Except its not the bard but a barely literate hoke from Wisconsin that is kin to me. I get about 50 percent of it. I identify more with the illiterate than the grammar nazi in me. My parents are literate in numerous dialects and so am I thanks to them, but I didn't know this one well. They had to interpret it for me. My kinfolk talked better than they wrote. And they worked harder at working than school.
