Sometimes you think you speak Italian well and people know right away that you are New Yorkese. Sometimes you don't think at all and you get asked if you are from Sicilia.
Last night we went to Mondo Arancina, this little Sicilian place that sells pizza and arancine (rice balls is a much less attractive term!). I order my arancina and the cashier asks me if I'm from Sicily because my accent is very Sicilian... I thank him of course and we get into a conversation about family in Palermo and such.
Point is, I sounded like I was Sicilian and that makes my life. What more do you want?

So it's like us asking some one of they are from, let's say, South Caroliona? Well we wouldn't ask, we would just state it.
I am glad your using your native language, now come home...
I w-want a hug?
