When my grandmother met my now wife, who is from Alabama, my grandmother told her “well, we all have to be from somewhere”

As someone who's family is from Alabama, I hard agree with your grandma. Where was she from? And can I steal her line?

My grandma was from the Midwest, mostly South Dakota. My grandma was very sweet and so it really cracked us up when she said that.

That to me sounds like a very northern state phrase. I can absolutely hear my grandma saying that (not saying you/they are, just made me smile thinking of that)
