Okay I believe it's time. I started to post this in the thread with the jokes for us Texans but I decided to put it up as a new thread lest it be viewed as a hijack. I know I haven't been in here long (July 25th will be my 1 year anniversary). But I've tried to be fairly active and participate where I could. I'm going to trust y'all as a group to support me here. I'm prepared for a variety of different responses but I hope that most of you will see it my way.

Here's the deal:

I claim to be a native Texan. My father was a 4th generation Houstonian and my mother was a 5th generation Waco resident. Several generations of aunts and uncles all over Texas from Conroe to Corsicana and back again.

BUT....My dad was in the US Army Aircorps when I was born. My parents legal address was XXXX Some Ave, Houston Texas. I was born , that is to say my mother literally gave birth to me while my dad was stationed in Enid Oklahoma training Cadets how to fly. I was born in the base hospital.

BUT....My dad always swore to me that I was conceived in Houston and that he never let my feet touch the ground until he got me back home to Texas. He always assured me that I could rightfully claim to be a native Texan. "After all", he would say,"if you'd been born in Germany you would not have been German, see?" It always made sense to me.

So then, what say you. I will still continue to claim native Texan status regardless of the comments I get here but I would be very interested in y'all opinions/comments. Tell me what ya think.....
