Why do the Mannings sound like they have a Different accent ??

I don't agree with RJ...I was born in marrero, lived in avondale until i was 3, moved to small town south of lafayette and lived there until i was 18. I don't sound I am from New Orleans or cajun country...i sound more like the yankee newscaster(thank the military for that one too). My family members all have muddled accents since my is from varying parts of LA and MS. I hate crawfish and most other types of seafood. I don't do the typical things like go fishing in my pirouge or go mudding in the rice fields once they are drained.

By RJ's definition I guess I'm not a true louisianaian since I don't sound,eat, or behave like I'm from LA.

As far as I'm concearned, I am proud to say that I am a true citizen of this state.
