Everyone couldn't believe how down pat I had the accent. I informed them that my parents are from the Carolinas so, I grew up hearing it from them and my relatives.

After doing it for over an hour, I tried to stop talking w/ a southern accent... and I couldn't! I was stuck! Of course then they started laughing at me. So I stopped talking to "reset" my brain. It was the weirdest thing. I had no idea that was even possible. Needless to say, I never talked w/ an accent for that long of a period ever, again!
That's so funny. I made a very conscious effort to get rid of my Southern Oklahoma accent but can slip right back into it any time.
