I worked with a guy that was (and still is) in a Texas mixed marriage. I made a passing remark about it to my Mom and she wanted to know if my co-worker or his wife was “the black one”.
I could barely keep a straight face when I told, ‘Ma — that’s not a Texas mixed marriage. He went to Texas A&M and she went to the University of Texas in Austin. That’s a Texas mixed marriage!’
She thought that was a hoot!
Reminds me of this....
