A slight social blunder

Sometimes I wonder what goes on in my head.

Today I was in a class waiting for it to start when a couple of girls and I got into a discussion. We were talking about the teacher from our previous class, just discussing where she was from. She is from a certain town south of here that is well-known for being rather wealthy, and we were explaining to the girls who were from out of state what the town is like. It wasn't necessarily negative, but we definitely ground in the point that people from this town are generally wealthy. No one was objecting or saying anything like, "Hey, that's where I'm from, and I'm not like that," so we didn't really think anything of it. A little later we were discussing our own hometowns and how to get there. We started drawing a map on the white board of the surrounding states and marking on our map where we were from. The activity caught on and the rest of the girls came up to add their hometowns as well. This is where it gets awkward. One girl comes up and puts a mark near the middle of the state. "I think that's right..." she said. "Where are you from?" I asked. She looked at me and replied that she was from that certain wealthy town. Oops.
