It's the same with us - my dad's got a Key West accent (which is very similar to a New York accent), and my mom's got a Boston accent (from her dad) - but whenever we visit family in Georiga, we always pick up certain phrases and idioms, and when we get back into town, people always look at us funny. Heh.
