Driving through deepest darkest Alabama with "Hilary for Pres" and "I'm Bi" painted on their cars?
My OH was wetting herself over the humour.
She's getting there.

"The term border states refers to the five slave states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and West Virginia which bordered a free state and aligned with the Union during the American Civil War. All but Delaware share borders with states that joined the Confederacy. In Kentucky and Missouri there were both pro-Confederate and pro-Union government factions. Though every slave state (except South Carolina) contributed some troops to the Union side,[1][2] the split was most severe in these border states, with men from the same family often fighting on opposite sides."

Missouri is in an odd spot. It's western, if you are from the East, Southern if you are from the North, Northern if you are from the south, and Eastern if you are from the West.
BTW, I can never remember when to capitalize N,S,E and W, so I did a little of both.

Grandson, age 2, is already learning the ma'am word. Or as his daddy says, he is learning that when talking with an adult and you are answering a question, you end the sentence with a name, i.e. grandma, mom, dad, ma'am, sir.
