Texas?

I get this all the time when I go out of town. “Are you from Texas?” people ask me. I just shake my head, “No, honey. I’m from Spartanburg, South Carolina.” I don’t even attempt to answer with Startex, or Greer, or Lyman – all of which have been home to me at one time or another and are all in Spartanburg County. One man even replied, “Are you sure?” Like I don’t know where I’m from.
