Try try agin

Growing up, I can't count the number of times I heard my mom say, "CAN'T NEVER TRIED!" Especially when one of us kids was whining about doing something hard. I don't know where she picked it up, I guess I never asked. But I sometimes now hear myself saying, to a grandpunk or a group working on a project, "Can't never tried!" It even sounds like Mom's voice...

    Somewhere, (don't think it was my mom) I picked up, and say to my school kids, "Can't never did nothin' " They don't correct my grammar, just walk away understanding they're not going to get sympathy for "I can't". :)
