Ahhh....

"When Nettie's foot come down on the porch I almost die. I stand swaying, tween Albert and Shug. Nettie stand swaying tween Samuel and I reckon it must be Adam. Then us both start to moan and cry. Us totter toward one nother like us use to do when us was babies. Then us feel so week when us touch, us knock each other down. But what us care? Us sit and lay there on the porch inside each other's arms."
(The Color Purple by Alice Walker)
