Oneal,

I was watching this video and heard your voice and when I looked at your name I laughed knowing it was really you> This is so funny. Only you would ask such a question about ass wiping.

So funny to hear about the tub of water to bathe in. I grew up with no hot water heater. We used to boil water on the stove and mama would pour it in the #8 galvanized tub in front of the heater in the winter time and give us a bath. We were so poor that we didn't get meat everyday. Sometimes we just had fried bread dough. As much as it sucked back then, it made me grow up to appreciate everthing I have now.

This is amazing. I don't know why I'm so impressed; thousands of households use a second-language (my own parents immigrated to the US - although it's English only for my bro and I). But these are what some might consider "Typical white Americans" who are native speakers of a language other than English in, well, America . And it's a variant of French at that.

@yvanwilt What is even more amazing is that their accent sounds similar to some belgian french accent from certain regions, I can hardly believe that after hundreds of years these two varieties of french keep on sharing some resemblances

You're looking at the end of a heritage soon to be forgotten. I think you're performing a great service by documenting the cajun language and the struggles of people who are no longer listed in any ethnicity. Bon chance mes aimi!
