re: #283 Barefoot Grin

Georgia sure has a lot of counties. My mother is from Meriwether County. I spent a few weeks each summer there down from Illinois. There wasn’t much to do as a kid besides sell lemonade at the peach stand in front of my grandfather’s house and trade on the novelty of being a “little yankee boy.” No, seriously. People said this.

My Dad from Pennsylvania, married to my Step-Mom, from Virginia for 30 years is still referred to as the Yankee. He adopted their racism to compensate.
