i was invited to family sunday dinner at my boss' parent's house (which is also mark's host home). i met scott's dad, homer. our initial conversation went like this:

homer: so where'r you frum girl?

homer: ah okay. howdya like texas?
emma: it's pretty good (smile)
homer: yeah? you gonna getcha a southern boy while yer down here?

20 min later
homer: so what kinda minorities they got up thar in michigan?
emma: minorities?
homer: yeah? like they got blacks? er what?
emma: uhhh...well...i guess there's a little bit of everything...

i failed to mention that homer was born and raised in mississippi and has lived the majority of his adult life in west texas.
