I sincerely believed that Mexico and Texaco were two states next to each other somewhere "down south".
After seeing an atlas of the US in my granddad's car, I spent my car trips with my nose pressed against the window, desperately watching to see the enormous "IOWA" that must have been painted on someone's field. I could never fully explain to anyone what I meant when I asked them if they'd seen "the BIG IOWA" yet.
Amazingly enough, I am allowed to mingle in the general population.
