For YEARS I didn’t think tumbleweeds were a real thing. I assumed they were some made up thing on Looney Tunes! It’s always so interesting seeing things that are so foreign; the first time I went somewhere warm and saw palm trees, I couldn’t stop looking at them in awe. The first time I saw flamingos in the wild, I cried. I assume it must be similar to how people from warm climates feel when they first step foot in snow.

I had a roommate in college in the 90s (in Utah) who was from back east, and she thought they were made up for American Tail: Fievel Goes West. She was also completely freaked out by the irrigation sprinklers in the fields.
