He: “So, where are you from?”
\n
Me: “Rural Missouri.”
\n
He (shocked, surprised): “No. Seriously?”
\n
Me: “Yes, I was raised on a farm.”
\n
He: “Huh.”

Me: “Why, where did you think I was from?”

He: “I would’ve said upstate New York.”
\n
Me: “You’re kidding. I give off an upstate New York vibe?”
\n
He2: “I agree. I would’ve said Rochester-ish.”
\n
Me: “But not the Hamptons.”

He2: “No! River Valley area, maybe.”

Me: “I’m not sure how I feel about this. Hmmmm…prepare to be shocked further.”
\n
He: “Why?”
\n
Me: “I was once the president of my local FFA chapter.”
\n
He: “FFA?”
\n
Me: “Future Farmers of America.”
\n
He: “No!”
\n
He2: “Why, were you bringing technology to the farm?”
\n
Me: “No, nothing like that. They simply threw the best parties.”
\n
He2: “You’re definitely upstate New York.”
\n
He: “Yeah.”
