I readily admit that I have a thick southern accent when husband is gone. Yes, moreso than when he's home. Why? Well, because I talk to my parents a heck of a lot more when husband is gone and in doing so, my southern accent gets - well, worse lol, for lack of a better term.
Whether I'm at Wal-Mart or on post, I get the same question over and over, "WHERE are you from?"
My standard reply usually gets a laugh: "Well, I was born in Georgia and raised in Alabama, so I guess you could say I'm double southern."
One of these days, I'm going to say, "I'm from New Jersey. Why?" and see what kind of reaction I get LMAO!

Apparently, I'm Midland. The only states I've never visited. ;-) Of course, I've been told I sound british on certain words (although I can't see it) and can up the southern twang on certain words in certain situations.
Interesting quiz!
