He didn’t correctly guess where I grew up. His guess was a location 3,0000 miles from where I grew up and happened to be where my parents grew up. Interesting. Kids normally adopt the accent of the community they grow up in - not their parents' accent. Perhaps your accent has a touch of your parents in it.

Perhaps your accent has a touch of your parents in it. Both they and I grew up in areas without distinct regional accents, areas with so-called American "Broadcast" accents, so it would probably be more accurate to say my dialect has a touch of my parents in it.
