Yup. Virginia-born.

Some years after we'd moved to Michigan a girl from Virginia joined our elementary class, and the two of became the class librarians. My parents couldn't figure out why I suddenly had a Virginian accent again.

LOL! We do that!

Meet people with accents and yours starts leaning toward theirs. It is amazing how you notice but they don’t. I do it and am still lousy at dialects.
