How’d you do?
If you got all eight right, you’re as native as a longhorn.

If you got six or seven right, you’ve descended from one of Stephen F. Austin’s original settlers.

If you got three to five right, you’re like the prairie wind just blowing through town.

If you got one or two right, you’re as native as the palm trees that line Westheimer.

If you got none right, you’re a yankee.
