Journal #2: Their Eyes Were Watching God


Mariana clocked in at her usual time, a minute or two after six in the morning. She was tired from the day before having to take her daughter in for surgery. She thought about what the day held for her.... An eight hour shift, picking up her children after school, the bills that needed to be paid, and then her manager came in.
"Good Morning Mariana, how is your daughter doing? I heard she went it for surgery."
"She fine, I a little scare before but de doctor say she is normal. Uuuh can I leave early tuday? I need to pick up her medisin from de store."
"Oh, yeah that's fine. One of my relatives also had there tonsils removed about a year ago, and they're still on medication. It must feel awful."
"Yeah, my daughter she always have her uuuhhhh how you say?" Pointing at her throat.
"Tonsils?"
"Yeah, de doctor when she was small, say her tonsils were very bick, but the insurance no cover de operation."
"Really, that's strange."
"Gloree what time es the meetin at today in the night?"
"It's from six to about seven thirty, only an hour and a half. It shouldn't be too bad."
"Okey."
A customer arrived at the drive through ordering his usual breakfast. Mariana of course already knew what he wanted, a breakfats crossaint with extra bacon. She was fine with making it as Glory checked the registers and counted to make sure there was enough money in each one.

Rules: 1. The changes to "de"
          2. Oh changes to "uh"
          3. Misses words like when asks how you say, instead of how do you say.
          4. The -y in Glory changes to -ee
          5. Instead of using is, she uses es
          6. Big changes to bick, a hard ck sound
          7.  Has had changes to just have
