What's With the Accent

How bizarre that at yesterday's baby shower one woman asked me if I was from Eastern Europe and another said I had an accent. Am I morphing, living dual lives, de-evolving? When I told them Connecticut they said, "oh, that makes sense." That was weird too.

The Accent Again

Here I am sitting at the bar at Applebee's satisfying my Friday night burger craving and again I get the accent question.

Drunk man #1: Are you from Australia?

Amy: Are you saying you think I have an accent?

Drunk man #2: Where are you from with that accent?

Amy: California but I just moved back from London.

Drunk man #2: They speak perfect hoity toity English over there in London, even if they don't think they have an accent

You gotta love how we Americans let it hang out on payday.

Do I Have an Accent?

Riding good old Ike to my neighborhood shopping center and nearly smashed into the security guard who was also on a bike.

Security guard "nice bike!"

Amy "thanks, it folds."

Security guard "nice accent!"

Amy "accent, what accent? Must be because I'm talking about my UK bike?"

Security guard (now looking at me all gaga) "Yeah, nice accent."

At this point I had to end the conversation before he proposed marriage or something more extreme although I can,t think of what that would be.
