Yerr not from these parts are ya?
Well today as we were driving through Mississippi Shano took a wrong turn for some fuel. We arrived in this amazing place call Fayette. As I got out to pay for the fuel I noticed everyone staring at me and I mean EVERYONE. Now initially I thought my skirt was tucked up in my knickers but then I noticed I had pants on - OK. Perhaps I have massive booga strewn unattractively across my face. Face check, nothing- OK. So and start chatting with the shop owner and a huge black man comes right up behind me and says "You aint from around these parts are ya little lady?" "No" I say cheerfully, "I'm from Australia - its really beautiful around here I love it." I add excitedly. Silence. More silence and then a little bit more silence. OK, I think what could the problem be. And then I figure it out..... we are the ONLY white people in the town. And I mean the ONLY. It was so bloody hysterical and I was such a naive idiot!! On another note the whole town so proud of a young gentleman who had graduated from high school that they had a massive billboard put up in his honour - it said "Congratulations to O'Man O'Dawg Smith for graduating in 2012" (only surname changed to protect his identity). What the hell kind of name is that? I love this place. xxx
