Not mine but my ex-husband's.
He was always talking aboutliving in 'old mexico' for awhile when he was in his teens. I always thought he said that to differentiate it from the state new mexico. Imagine my suprise (and disbelief) when I found out that my 40 YEAR OLD husband said 'old' mexico because he thought that it was a state, like north and south dakota, east and west virginia there was old and new mexico not just the country of mexico!
