10. pioneer attitude
11. words like gosh, dang, diaper, bathroom, sidewalk, zucchini, movie theatre, round-trip, one-way, bucks, hitch-in-your-giddyup (Jesse purposefully used this on a Brit. Completely confused. He also once said to our landlady, "I hear your weedwacker is on the fritz." Utterly stumped.
12. our ward
13. other things I have forgotten about.
