I have a very old school grandmother in West Dennis that's 102 and lives next door to our summer house. To this day if I dress up even a little to go out somewhere, she says, "Oh Jimmy, don't you look gay." This sends my wife and kids into hysterics.

I still do

On Tursdee my pepere might yell to my memere, "Gertrude, trow me out the window my keys. I'll bring da machine around front so I can bring you ta go make your stores down Social cwen. When you go ta Halmacs buy a coupla two tree steaks, dare on sale for a buck tree eighty. While you make your stores I’ll pickup the machine and make gas."

Translation for the non-RI French:
On Thursday my grandfather might yell to my grandmother, “Gertrude, throw my keys to me from the window. I’ll bring the car around front and take you to Social Corner to do your grocery shopping. When you go to Almacs, buy a few steaks, they’re on sale for three dollars and eighty cents. While you’re shopping I’ll clean the car and get it filled with gasoline.

Of course, I can’t speak French nearly as well as they could speak English.
