Oklahoma

As we sat around the dinner table last night, my wife and I discussed Okies. We were discussing how one of our neighbors is ashamed to live in our neighborhood, and can't grasp that my wife and I are going to continue to live in our house. She said that her mother makes fun of her for living in our neighborhood. That bothered me, but it epitomizes Okies.

They are never satisfied with what they have, and they believe they deserve more. They are possibly the most materialistic people I know of. I hate it, and I hate that the longer I live here the more I act like them. The reason people can have such nice things here, because it is cheap to live here. It is cheap to live here, because no one wants to live here. It offers not one thing over other places that I have lived, other than it is cheap to live here.

My mother doesn't make fun of me for living in our neighborhood, she makes fun of me for living in Oklahoma.
