This summer I've decided to tell people that I'm from Texas and not Mississippi. Since I'm living in Texas now and going to school there, and since many people always thought I was living in a river before ("Ah Mississippi yes, the river, that's where you're from??"), I'm running a new experiment to see what reactions I receive when people learn I'm "from" Texas. So far people have said:
- Texas, yes, land of cowboys
- Oh, George Bush is from Texas!
- Texas, wow, is very big!
- Texas, ah yes I have a cousin in Dallas
- Texas, oh with John Wayne
- Do you know how to play Texas Hold 'Em?
Stayed tuned for more on Texas...
I vote to the second one!
ReplyDeleteHA, not that I'm an expert on accents but yours didn't quite sound like Texan, Donika :P. Well, it's better than saying I'm from Albania in the US and getting a "that's in Russia, right?"
