“Dorothy: Ma, what are you doing?
Sophia: Filling sandbags, Dorothy, there’s a hurricane a-comin’!
Dorothy: A-comin’?!
Sophia: That’s right. People only use the ‘a’ when a really big storm is a-comin’ or a-brewin’, so grab a sack and start a-shovelin’!
Dorothy: Ma, there is no hurricane a-comin’.
Sophia: Don’t patronize me!
Dorothy: I’m not patronizing you, I’m a-mockin’ you!”
