Quiz Me Baby

I'm not surprised. I did grow up mostly in the South, but with a Yankee mom, and I try very hard to speak carefully. No one can ever guess where the hell I'm from based on my accent. When I came back from England after being there for two weeks, the guy at the hotel in NY insisted I was English, and not Texan. But when I was in London, I'd sound very Texan indeed after a couple of pints of cider (and while I'm at it, why doesn't anyone around these parts have decent cider??! and yes I drank it in pints and not pissy little half pints.... people actually stared at me for it!) Sigh. I never fit in anywhere. But that's a good thing. :)
