This is how the conversation always goes...
1. "Your accent is so cute! Where are you from?
(Insert name of a town no one's ever heard of, nor will they ever hear of it again once this conversation is over)
2. "Oh, really? What's that near?"
"Do you know where _____ is? It's like an hour or so from there." To which their response is a dropped jaw and widened eyes.
3. "So, do you live on a farm?"
...........................*slams head into a wall*
4. "Where did you go to school?"
(Insert name of a school that no one has heard or will ever hear of, more than likely because it's directly related to your town.)
5. "There were how many people in your graduating class?"
Forty two, but I don't want to say that because you'll more than likely look at me like I wasn't really educated, and somehow my 12 years of schooling weren't equivalent to yours.
6. "So, where's your family from?"
"Pretty much right down the road.."
7. "How'd you hear about (insert name of college you're attending)?"
I came from a small town... I wasn't a shut in.
8. "What do you have to do at home? Where do you hang out?"
I'd say something to make me sound more like you, but it's actually kind of amusing to watch my words baffle you, so, "Most people hunt or fish, sometimes we go mudding, it depends on the season, but there's also times when you can go module jumping or four-wheeler riding."
*Their face looks like you just spoke to them in a foreign language*
9. "Do you have a Walmart?"
I mean, it's not right next door but.. you know what, "Nope, we do all our grocery shopping in the woods and on the farm."
10. "You have to drive how long to get to town?
Depends, what do you define as a "town?"
11. "What's a four-wheeler?"
I'm so sorry you were sheltered as a child.
