I'm not a good story-teller, and I never get a punchline right to save my life, but I want to share a quick story about some relatives who came to visit, and one of the reasons I love Texas.
Whenever we entertain folks not fortunate enough to be Texans by birth or by choice, we generally take them out for some Texas barbecue. It's a public service I like to perform, and it's an educational trip for northerners who think barbecue is only what you do in the backyard. Hubby says it's just because I have a great enjoyment for brisket, but that's beside the point.
We took an aunt and uncle to a local barbecue place and they of course revelled in the Texas environment, the food, and the excellent down-home service. While standing in line, one of the guys doling out the brisket and colt .45 beans says, "So where y'all from?" to which auntie Mahetabel replies, "Indiana."
Without missing a beat, the young gentleman smiled broadly and replied, "Oh! So y'all are from north-central Texas!"
Just goes to show that when it comes down to it, there's room enough for everyone to be a Texan.
