8 Things People ALWAYS Ask When They Know You’re From Florida
If you’re from Florida, you’re probably sick of hearing the same few things every time someone asks you where you’re from. It’s almost always about retirees, theme parks or gators. I guess that’s all anyone hears about Florida in other parts of the country (and the world). Here are some of the most popular questions people ask when they find out you’re from Florida and how you should answer them, (or at least how I would answer them).

Yes, I'm actually 97 years old. All the sunshine and fresh air just keeps you young.

First of all, how do you not see how huge Florida is? There are 20 million people living here. We don't all live in Miami.

It's true, Florida has a lot of transplants and snowbirds, but I swear some of us were actually born here. It happens every day, in fact.

Ha, I wish.There's plenty of land that's not really close to the water.

Uh, no. But if I ever want to, I will. It's really not that big of a deal. A lot of people do it just to save money.

I really don't know. I've lost three pool boys this month.

I went a lot when I was a kid, but it's actually been years since I visited a theme park. Hmm...maybe a road trip is in order.

Funny enough, a lot of people find that once they move to Florida they don't end up going to the beach every day of the week like they envisioned they would. I guess knowing it's always there makes you less obsessed with being there all the time.
