So the guys who'll take care of the tree got here...

And asked me about my "English" accent.

I do not have an English accent.
I do not have a British accent.
I once cornered a pair of English ladies and asked them.
They said I sound very American.
I grew up in New York.
My dad was Texan.
I DO NOT HAVE A FOREIGN ACCENT WHILE LIVING IN THE US!

So why on earth do people think otherwise?

*shrugs* People always think I'm from Canada or Minnesota, and apparently it was worse for my mom (who's from Massachusetts but hides her accent quite well.) People are just weird.
