rednecks and whiteout

im here in the library again, and i was checking my email when i heard a very loud "uh huh, yeah, wight tare...wight tare, uh huh." I looked over the little cubicle wall and found a blonde little boy who is maybe 9 or 10 (tops) sitting on the other side. this is no normal little boy. blonde hair, and bright blue eyes, huge ears and what i thought had to be fake teeth. they couldn't be real, they were already yellow, and spaced far apart like those plastic ones you buy when you are trying to look like a "authentic" redneck. but no, alas they were his real teeth. these huge things were what seemed to be impairing his speech, "wight tare" coming out of his mouth, when he wanted to say "right there." To top it off he already had some fake tattoos on his arms, and a Nascar "Dale Earnhardt #8" hat over messed up hair. To top it off, he wore huge bottle cap thick lenses and when he squinted his upper lip seemed to be too small for his gums, and exposed his huge teeth. And he sat along side what I could only assume was his mother, who with her female mullet and old jogging pants stared blankly at the screen. If that wasn't enough I heard the mother ask the librarian about information on where she could find online information about home schooling. Great. As if the kid wasn't already in enough trouble for his less then stellar appearance, he was going to have his ma teach him some ejukashun.

I guess Iowa is no exception to the redneck population. If anything there seems to be an abundance here. Around here I am considered Mexican not Wexican or Hispanic, but Mexican. I had some one ask me if I was a US Citizen the other day. I guess I just have to stand back and laugh, how funny the white people are here. I can see how when my cousin's cousins (who are mexican) say when it comes to girls, up here has what they call "white out" which has nothing to do with snow. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to get used to it all, it's amusing, and makes me feel even that much more brown.
