Lately, every week when I got out to my parents house for Sunday dinner, the conversation inevitably goes to something along the lines of “I can’t believe how those other people live,” or “I don’t understand why anybody would want to live anywhere but New York State.” But maybe as somebody who is more conservative then them, I tend to see it differently. I also kind of get the impression they don’t want me to move out west, where I will be far away from them.
