Region questions are very confusing to Oklahomans. We're not exactly a part of any particular region, so I asked her what she meant by "region."

The poor girl hazarded a guess -- that Oklahoma is in California.

I had to explain to her that no... Oklahoma is a state. In the United States, there are 50 separate states. That Oklahoma is just like Texas and California -- a state. I explained that if she click on the drop down menu by city, there would be a list of two-letter codes and that she should choose the letters "OK."

It got really interesting when I had to explain to her that I lived in a city called "Oklahoma City" in the state of Oklahoma. That was apparently very confusing.

If she gets a call from someone in Indiana, PA she'll probably stab herself in the eye.

and let's try Madrid, IA, or Nevada, IA or London, OH or how about Versailles, OH.

Not even going into the multiples of Springfields, Bloomingtons, heck my little town of Indianola, IA has sister cities in at least Washington State, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, and Texas.

Our country boggles the unknowing mind...
