Mama's Lil Punkin Head!

It is no secret that here in the South we have a sayin' and a name for everything! Cute babies are called everything thing from "punkin head" which is pronounced more like "punky head" to "butter ball" which should sound like "budder baw." There is no shortage of strangers doting over babies, whether they be in their mother's arms, in their strollers, or still in their bellies! There is no insult in our linguistic creativity.  It's all about the love and celebration of a new life.  So, the next time a stranger walks up to you and compliments your Lil' punkin head, just smile and thank her politely, and hope she invites you home that afternoon for some southern fried chicken, Paula Deen style!
