How To Talk Like a Minnesotan

A last minute opportunity came up for me to see "How To Talk Like a Minnesotan" with a friend at the Plymouth Playhouse Theater. My options were to stay home and complete the FAFSA (a financial form for parents of college students that is harder than completing income taxes) or go to the show. I went to the show where they poked fun at how we speak here. Things like "Could have been worse," or "Can't complain," or "Not half bad," are all what they called "negative positives." The jokes are not half bad but the music was really good. All the performers are great singers. We had a fun afternoon. Could have been worse.
