Today, my teenage daughter asked me if accents are hereditary. FML

Dumb girl, they're sexually transmitted

I hope stupidity isn't. Or your unborn grand-babies are screwed.

At least she knows what hereditary is

Replays the good 'ol Frodo voice.

You spawned and, presumably, raised her, YDI.

I can see where you are coming from but you have to see her point of view. No one has ever told her before obviously, and they are regional and specific to certain areas like other physical traits are that are passes down through genes.

Actually, 90, you have no idea how stupid Americans do sound trying to say 'g'day mate' or some of the other generic comments Americans seem to think we say (I have never heard anyone say "shrimp on the barbie" or anything like that. Besides, they're called prawns). While Americans trying to imitate our accent does make us cringe, as 88 said, it also makes us laugh at you.

Tell her yes. With as straight a face as possible, say "Yes. Accents are hereditary."

I'm moving to Australia. Right now.

I love Australians! But have a sense of humor :) you guys probably emulate Americans as well! I think it's hilarious.
