Midwesterners aren't real. We're just constructs.
The Midwest isn't real. The whole "flyover" thing is just planes flying in circles to kill time....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I have met tommyrot! But then, I'm originally from the midwest, and I am now from the desert (obviously fictional! nobody lives in the desert) so I am EVEN MORE SUSPECT.

I'm pretty sure I've met tommyrot. I think. Were you at the SFF2F? I was kinda drunk for most of it, so maybe not.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have met Liese! More than once! Both times were in the Midwest, though, so that only strengthens the claim that we're constructs.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
my "check engine" light came on with 10 miles to go on the IMA warranty and the nearest dealer 6 miles away.
Note also that the 2003 and 2004 Civic Hybrids had a recall on their O2 sensors (part of the catalytic convertor).
We did not know this until we paid cash to get ours fixed and then got a notice from Honda (money months later) saying they'd pay us back.
So! That is one of the things which triggers the engine light.

Oh, adorable. If I were in the UK and I needed another dog or two I would totally adopt Padfoot: [link]
By which I mean, Berry, who played Padfoot in the Harry Potter movies.

I have not only met Liese, but I shared a hotel room with her and she gave the precious gift of hair gel.
I have not only met tommyrot, but I was with him when we went to the Disney Store in the Chicago downtown where we both bought Violet (Incredibles) dolls, and my Edna Mode coffee cup. (Matilda now owns Violet.)

Were you at the SFF2F?
Yep. Although I had a bad cold so I napped a lot in my hotel room.

move out and draw fire
So far I've explained that Mommies have lots of eggs inside them and sometimes one can grow into a baby
So, I went with this plan (although I did include the menfolk as we'd been watching a lot of BBC nature docs, so he knew two birds or fish or whatever were required).
Then a couple days ago, Mal asked some neighbors who just got a puppy if they'd gotten her fixed or were they going to let her lay eggs.
The neighbors laughed, but later I was like "Dude, WTF? You know mammals don't lay eggs." to which he responded "You said that the girl animal contributes an egg and the boy animal contributes sperm!"
So yeah.
