Southern accent

I don't have a very strong southern accent.  When I was young, I thought I had no recognizable accent.  But our family went to a conference when I was in upper elementary school, and I learned otherwise.  People came from a number of different states.  A couple of girls from Maryland told me they liked my southern accent.  Josh's accent is pretty mild as well.  But somehow Nora, just in the last week or so started saying some words with extreme southern flair.  

-Nora, where is Wally?

-He's upstay-ers.

-Nora, did you pee on the floor?

-Yay-uhs.

It makes me giggle.
