Who's Johnny

I'm gonna crack on my wife a little because it's just to good to pass up. With Shelly being from up north (Ohio) and me a good ole southern boy- there were times when she would look at me with a strange look on her face. Since us southerners say things like jeet yet ( did you eat yet) or ownt- no ( I don't know ) or this one I like... mita-bena ( might have been a ) it took a while for her understand. When I was a little bunn boy, I would hear Mom say things like -Ill be John Brown, or John Brown-it, Immol beat chol tail boy... which means, I am going to beat your tail boy. So when Shelly would aggravate me -I would say something like - well I'll be John Brown, or something to that effect. After a few months of dating you know what that dad gum girl of mine asked me.... With a serious look on her face she said ... who in the world is John Brown... you talk about him all the time...
