So, I'm in the Food Court at the Subway about ten minutes ago and I look over at one of the girls working behind the counter. She looks like she's about nineteen and her name tag says "Laramie."
Wow, Laramie!" I exclaim. Her face brightens up.
"Yep, that's me!" she says. "That's where my parents were from."
"I went to college there," I tell her.
"Wow, that's cool," she replies. We talk a little bit about how I ended up in the South. The way she talks makes me think she'd rather be in Wyoming.
"So what brought your parents down here?" I ask her. She shrugs.
"Some job, I guess. My dad could get a job just about anywhere, but I guess they thought it'd be cool to live here."
"I see."
"...they were wrong."
