You're not from here, right?

No, I'm from South Carolina.

But you moved from South Carolina to where?

My mother's uterus.

Replace South Carolina with Kentucky and you have my situation. I have a bit of an accent in my voice, so I get the question "where are you from" a lot. When I respond with "Kentucky", people act surprised.

I'm not really sure where my accent came from. I have some ancestors from Germany, but they are far back enough such that it would not make a difference in my voice. Besides, people usually guess my accent is British.

It is so strange! I have had this "accent" for pretty much my entire life, but I've also lived in Kentucky for my entire life. Do you know anyone in a similar situation?
