We were on our way to Bakersfield to go to my husband’s aunts house for Thanksgiving. My husband is from Texas and Xayne and I are from Los Angeles. Other than Las Vegas, Xayne and I haven’t been ANYWHERE. In my mind, and now Xayne’s, anywhere other than Los Angeles is deserted and empty so naturally when I think of Texas, I think of it as “the middle of nowhere”. So, we’re on our way to Bakersfield, and compared to where we live, Bakersfield is the middle of nowhere too, I say to Robert:

“Oh man, we are on our way to the middle of nowhere (meaning Bakersfield).”

Suddenly Xayne starts crying from the back seat.

“What’s wrong?” I say.

Tearfully, “I don’t want to go to Texas!”.
