Same thing different taste
Today, I asked a woman where her beautiful accent was from. The woman stared at me for a while. Then her daughter told me that the reason her mother talked like that was because she had a stroke a few months ago. FML
Today, I had to tell my teenage son that no, his knowledge of the English language was not passed down to him genetically. FML
Today, while at my friend's house, I noticed her brother had a bit of an accent. I laughingly said "Is it me or does your little brother have an accent?" She stared and replied with "No, he has autism." FML
Today, the parent of a student called to ask me about a homework assignment. At the end of the call, she told me that I seem to be losing my "Asian accent" from when she first talked to me in the summer. I was born in the US, grew up in NJ and speak perfect English. FML
Today, my 15-year-old birth daughter asked if I've ever had sex. FML
Today, someone asked my wife if I was her father. FML
Today, at work, I was helping someone who really sounded like she had a Boston accent. So, I asked her where she was from. She has never been out of state. Turns out she has a speech impediment. FML
Why not both?
Today, my 6 year-old daughter saw me putting on makeup and asked, “Mommy, are you trying to look less tired or more alive?” FML
Bruvophobia
Today, my mom mentioned how she loves a certain actor's "British" accent. I couldn't help but mention that there's no such thing, and that there are lots of different accents in Britain. She got pissed and lectured me for "lying" to her and trying to make her feel stupid. FML
Nature vs. Nurture
Today, I think my daughter is the only person in the world who was born racist. The other day she said to me, “Girls with dark skin can’t be pretty.” FML

If you don't have one say yes then tell her she's adopted

Lessons can be over looked and forgotten as well. The OP may be frustrated or perhaps even got a kick out of it. The teenager could have been 13-19. Not an unreasonable question. But yet I find it cute in a sense. Don't judge to harshly, this is not a 'serious' sight.

British people (like myself, for instance) are to uptight and easily embarrassed to sit around trying to imitate accents. That's why we are all crap at them.
