Pax, your story reminds me of the day one of the male teachers stopped me in the school parking lot, at my last job. He asked me how I got the 5 digit license plate that around here indicates you have lived here a very long time, and is even considered a vanity plate (I actually have to pay extra for this, lest people believe I'm a blow-in), since he knew I had moved here several years ago from AZ. I spun around and something like "that plate has been in my family since 1932 and my grandfather left it to me in his will." This was actually true; it was my dad's father's plate, who gave it to my dad, who then gave it to my mom. When we moved away, she gave it to her dad, who willed it to me. It's such a Massachusetts story
. Let's just say that townie azzhole never looked me in the face again.
