Like my Uber passengers who will not stop asking until they’ve nailed down exactly where I’m from.

No matter how slowly and gradually I trickle the information out they just don’t get the hint.

“Are you from Denver originally?”

“No but I’ve been here about ten years now. This feels like home to me”

“Where are you from?”

“The Midwest”

“Which state?”

“Indiana”

“Which city?”

“Terre Haute”

“Oh yeah which part?”

… three hours later …

“Which bedroom is yours?”

“Which side of the bed did you sleep on?”
