Lady friend just moved to KC about a 9 months ago and her brother and his gf were in town for the first time last weekend. This conversation ensued.
Brother - "So according to my sister Kansas City has two mayor's, is that true?"
Ben ji - "Wut"
Lady friend - "Yeah, doesn't KC have 2 mayors"
Ben ji - "Kansas City Missouri has a mayor and Kansas City Kansas has a mayor but they are not the same city"
Lady friend - "They aren't the same city?"
Ben ji - "No, they are two different cities in 2 different states but right next to each other"
Lady friend - "I live in the Missouri one right?"
Ben ji - "Yes"
Brothers GF - "So Kansas City is not actually in Kansas but there is also a Kansas city in Kansas right next to the Kansas City in Missouri? This is so confusing"
They are from the Upper Midwest as well, not some out of touch coasters.
