A Southern Stroll

"Hey Kevin, Carol was just doing a great impression of you".  My coworker, John, said this as I walked into the office while Carol stood in the doorway looking guilty.

"What, Carol?  You can do an impression of me? I need to see it."

"No, no. I was just saying you have a slow southern stroll when I saw you walking to the office".  She went to find backups.

"Yes, you have a distinct walk, Kevin, but I wouldn't say it is particularly Southern.", agreed another coworker.

My family has always mocked the way I walk, saying that I tend to bounce on my toes.  It is difficult to watch oneself walk, but I have always been conscious that perhaps I have a funny one.  But you know, isn't that what family is for?  To mock you for things that may make you a social outcast in order to keep you from doing them?  

No, I think that's what middle school is for.  Family is for loving you unconditionally and telling you that your walk is perfect and that you should probably consider going pro with it.
