I love your accent!

6/18/2011

It is very strange for me to be the one with an accent.  I have heard the phrase, “I love your accent” so many times on this trip.  lol

It started in NY.  I had a few people comment here and there.  One of the security guards at Rockefeller Plaza even asked me where I was from.  He was amazed I was on my own and all the way from GA.  The rest of the Winants commented on my dialect when we first met. 

Now that I am in London, it has happened more than once a day.  The girl that ran the cash register at the market was in awe.  She just looked and me and kept saying, “I just love how you talk!”  Two of the former Claytons at the meeting today said my voice was like music.  HAHAHAHA!  

The next day, a nice chap named Daniel sat down next to me in Trafalgar Square and talked to me for 10 minutes asking me about the South and "just wanted to hear me talk".

I just think that some of these people have never been introduced to a REAL southern accent.  The ones in hollywood and on television are more often than not fake and extremely exaggerated.  I am more than happy to introduce London to a true Southern accent!  :)
