Why, Mr. Pilch, you've not responded to this post. You just went right past it. I do understand, but I am most anxious to understand the startling scenario you suggest unfolds in your home. Message 19995738 I'll be back to discuss it in more detail late tomorrow, or the next day, but I'm quite interested to find out in the meantime whether, when you, your son (if he exists), and the entire family went to meet his biological mother, you spoke to this African American woman in this sort of dialect? Did your son? Did each person in your family, from time to time, break out into this sort of dialect, speaking to your son's biological mother? Yo, Mama. (grin) My church be doin some aMAYzin’ mess in da hood right friggin’ nah!... He be makin' me sked and stuff. Fokes that do dat kinda mess is some dangious fokes... Hey. I nevah even HURD of no dang Baldur. I don't even be knowing what a dang Baldur is. I think dass a mountain somewhere, maybe in Russia or somethin'.... I don't know nothing 'bout no dang Baldur no how! (grin)....Dang, you whinin' to Marse Pilch? Dem po fokes spittin’ out dem babies ain wastin’ my money.… Dey DEFINEY be saying stupid mess every time dey open dey moufs... But dang. Uhm dygressin'. The thang is, I don’t wownt yall forcin’ me to take care of da hood. If I wanna do it, den dangit I’ll do it. If I don’t den I won’t. Dass de way it oughta be. (grin) I am also very interested in your answer to these questions, which you have evaded: In public do you speak to, or in front of, your purported black son in that distorted parody of a black-American dialect? Do you do it, for example, when you are together at church functions? Does he find this practice joyfully playful? Do your fellow church members, hearing the white adoptive father speak so to his black son, find it joyful and playful? Does it get big laughs? Does your black son himself also amuse your white friends by indulging in that parody dialect? When you went to meet your son's biological mother, did you at any time speak to her with that parodic language?
