Jon's Step Mom: "Where does your family live?"
Me: "Wisconsin"
Step Mom: "I've never been there. I haven't been to many of the states over in the Northeast."
Me: (Trying very hard not to say "Neither have I.")
Step Mom: "Charlie's family is in New York, and I visited Connecticut once, but I've never been to any of those other little states over there."
Did she mishear? Does "Wisconsin" sound similar to a Northeastern state that has slipped my mind? Or is this woman just stupid? The sex must have been good, because I certainly wouldn't have left my wife and my four kids for an imbecile who resembles a drowned rat.
I was ready to give this lady a chance because all of Jon's comments (and his siblings' comments, and his mom's comments) have been incredibly cruel. I assumed this was fueled by "my dad cheated on my mom with you" feelings. As it turns out...not so much.

I would have just corrected her. Has she always lived in Alaska? She may have been thinking of Vermont, which, in the MST3k episode, Time Chasers, was called "The other, smaller Wisconsin."
Nope -- I don't think she lived in Alaska for more than a few years. (Military wife.) She currently lives in Atlanta, which is why I'd never met her -- or Jon's dad -- until yesterday. They're up here for a few days, for Jon's sister's graduation.
Wow ... I would have probably laughed at her. Didn't she go to 5th grade? Even if you've lived in Alaska all your life I'd sure hope you would know the basic geography of the country you are a part of.
She clearly needs to L2 geography.
