that accent.

I ran into a man and woman with amazing Australian accents. I asked them if they were from Australia and told them I could listen to that accent all day. 

They both smiled and the woman said, "Oh thank you, but I hate my accent." 

Which at first made me think of something along the lines of "the grass is always greener." 

But, instead I told her again how awesome I thought they sounded and that I'm sure she doesn't appreciate it, like I do, but, for people, like me, well, it's beautiful to listen to. 

To which she thanked me. He smiled again. 

I guess the grass is greener on the other side, but I also think it's always healthy to take an opportunity - when you get one - to tell someone what a beautiful field you think they get to live in. I'm not sure we do that enough.
