Oh, Collette!
When I was about 12 years old, I moved to a brand new school district. I was a
terribly shy child and the minute I opened my mouth, I spontaneously affected the most ridiculous accent
ever! lmao, it was just like what happened to Ross on that Friends episode (I don't know of you've ever seen it, but it's just absurd).
And no one had ever heard this sort of accent either and so of course everyone wanted to know where I moved from. It was a mess! lol, thank goodness I'm naturally a clown or I would have been annihilated.
So for most of the year I coolly played it off and gradually started phasing it out just like on the show. Luckily, I moved to a different school after that year, too; and I was careful that no faux accent slipped out that time!
