Everyone always comments that I have an odd accent. I was born in Guantanamo Bay Cuba and spent the first fours years of my life in Virginia and Wisconsin. Mum and Dad split and she bought us to Australia when I was 4yo by which time I would have had an American accent....so I guess it's slowly evolved into some kind of mutant American/Australian dialect. Hubby is always teasing me about it...saying it's due to my Cuban heritage....despite the fact that I was born in Gitmo on a US naval base. My kids ended up with weird accents too....but that probably due to learning the odd pronunciations from me. Interestingly my 10yo son had a stroke a number of years back which affected his speech and he has a distinct German accent....everyone comments on it.
Day 9 coming to a close. All my joints are aching....hopefully I'm not coming down with the dreaded lurgy. Love you guys xxx
