Sha ZAY amm, Ma'am

I am still adjusting to the Southern dialect.  The other day, the Kindergarten teacher talked about meteorology.  First of all, can you believe they are teaching aspects of meteorology to Kindergartners??  When I was in the second grade, I was still saying, "I gotta go potty!"

Anyway, she was talking about different forms of precipitation, and all the kids started laughing when she said the word "hail," because in the South, "HAY-ell" is how they say "Hell."

Southerner: "It looks like it's going to hail."

Me (thinking) : "What's going to hell?"
