[quote=Anonymous]My DH gets this a lot. It really does depend on how it is asked. if it is as simple as, "that is such an unusual name, what is the origin?" and asked with curiosity...fine. He is friendly, talkative and just as lovely in response. However, if it is a "your English is so great!" type of person, which we have encountered way more often, his reaction is: Stranger: Where are you from? Him: Virginia S: No, I mean where are you from?? Him:Oh? You mean originally? Sorry. I'm from Maryland, but now we live in Virginia. S: Uh...I mean, where were you born? Him: Oh, I didn't understand. I was born in DC. If you're asking my heritage, my parents are from X. It cracks me up to no end when he does this, bc he's speaking straight up north American unaccented English, and these type of people just won't see past their assumptions that he must not be from here.
