Born: Oakland.
Raised: San Diego.
Lived in Auburn, Washington State for awhile.
Story:
I was in 2nd Grade in Auburn and we were all told to draw a 'picture of your Family'. So we all went to work drawing away with the usual People, House, Dogs, and Cats. Then, ... some guy leaned over and started laughing at my Drawing. He said something like "Is your Family orange?". Perplexed, I looked around at the Drawings of others. They had ALL used the color 'white' to represent their Families.
In Southern California, we all have year around suntans, so we color people as 'orange'. HERE, in Washington State, where it seems to rain a lot and is overcast, the people are extremely 'pasty white'. (hahahaha)
