>>510215156Yeah that's kind of the impression I got when I'd visit. She was from Garland, though neither of her parents lived there by the time we were dating (her mom lived in some bougie North Dallas neighborhood next to a lake and her dad was in FW) but her whole family felt straight out of King of the Hill, her dad even sounded just like Hank. (Though he looked just like Dr. Phil.)
My ex fucking hated TX and being from there and was really desperate to be a Californian, which is funny because I'm a Californian who had Midwestern and Appalachian roots and relatives and felt more at home there . Always made me sad that she forced herself to talk like a West Coaster, once in a while something would slip out in her real East TX accent and it was adorable.
