Accents

I have never entirely figured this out. My brother and I were raised in Orleans, just outside of Ottawa. We were actually at the edge of Cumberland, so we grew up hearing English spoken with a mix of French, Ottawa valley, and standard Canadian accents. For a time, my brother had the Ottawa valley accent, but I never did (I can mimic it perfectly, but I've never had it.)

I've never understood how I could have a different accent from my brother!
