"You sound funny."

I have recently been called into Primary (the youth organization for kids between 3-11 years of age in our church: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)) and I serve as the Music Leader.  Something I know very little about.  But I have still been having lots of fun none the less.  One thing that always cracks me up is when kids discover that I talk funny.  Here is one conversation I had just last week:

Primary kid: You sound funny.
Me: That's because I come from America.
Primary kid: Oh, I thought you sounded like you were from Africa.

I have also been told by the primary kids that I sound like I'm speaking chinese (Maybe he was excited for the olympics?!)  And adults have told me that I sound Irish, Welsh, Canadian eh, and my favourite, Scottish!!  Must be the red hair mixed with the funny talk.  Maybe I need to work on my fairdinkum Aussie accent a little bit more.
