I grew up near Okoboji, Iowa and on Thursday, I wore my "University of OKOBOJI" sweatshirt to school.
I was stopped by our speech therapist who said, "My sister lives in a small town by Okoboji."
"Really? What town?"
"Oh, it's so small, you've never heard of it."
"Try me. I grew up down there."
"No really. No one's ever heard of it."
"Tell me. I'm sure I have."
"Harris?"
When I stopped laughing, I replied, "I graduated from Harris-Lake Park!"
Not only had I heard of it, shopped in it, and taken the school bus there for an entire year, I graduated with some of her sister's relatives!
