Well

oldwell1600

Back in May of 2011, I wrote a piece about my dad’s mother. I know that if she could see it her first comment would be “Well…”

Ask my mam-ma, my dad’s mother, anything at all, and she would reply “Well,”  followed by the answer to your question.  Of course, being a Texas lady, she stretched it out a bit, saying “Way-ull.”

She also used the word as sort of an all-purpose reply to anything that she thought was too disturbing to comment upon – she’d just say “Well.” and leave it that.
