I Laughed Because That Is America

A recent addition to my life now that I have my evenings free is to partake in Wednesday night trivia with a bunch of friends. The funny part is that being the token American, everyone turns to me whenever there is a question talking about the States. I always wish I could answer these questions as I’m starting to feel even more like the least-American American around.

I guess it doesn’t help that I’ve been moving from place to place so often. There’s also all those ridiculous American stereotypes that I never think I could fit into. What is it even like back home?!

Well thanks to the latest email from my dad, I remember. That’s right – I’m from the M-Dub, or the Mid-West for those who aren’t familiar. The place where corn grows in your backyard because your backyard happens to be a corn field. The place where your little sister races go-karts!

Now that’s America! I laughed when I saw these, but not in a bad way. :) Maybe she’ll be the next Danica Patrick!
