Ever since LeeAnn and I have been dating & even after we got married, I have been geting to know not only my wife better but also the Hassler family and the Hassler culture. In the Hassler Family ( Terry and Vinnie Hassler) there are certain ways to describe everyday things in life. Stuff I grew up not knowing until my wife had mentioned them to me. Her family is southern and so is mine, but there is a culture part in her family that I find interesting. For example, the word "Waller" , was a new word I had never come across in my life untill my time with LeeAnn. She got irrated with me one day and told me to stop Wallering her. I found out through a long and "painful" discussion process that such a word meant to bother, to nag, to remain at one's side constantly in an annoying manor. I wasn't aware of myself beign guilty of any of those things. I didn't remember bothering my wife or hanging around her too much. But she sure remembers and she has this way of telling me when I am wallering her. She just looks at me and roles her eyes. Then she sighs really loud. Anyways, I also learned "Waller" was also a noun in addition to the verb and not only was I associated with the verb but also the noun version of the word. I am a waller. The definition in this form is not much different. It is basically one who bothers, nags, an annoying person who remains at one's side constantly. So anywho that is my little intro into my wife's family's culture. I can't help it if I like to play around with her though. I am like a little kid who has just been fed pure sugar when I am around LeeAnn. She makes me excited and I enjoy being around her.
