I've been writing on the stereotypes of the rodeo collective. Here's an excerpt:
"1. We’re rich.
People always look at me and say "Oh, your family must
be *insert lucrative profession here*." I smirk and say, "Nope!"
They stare at me wondering how to phrase the next question best. “You must have
a lot of money, huh?” I smile and in a sing-songy voice say, “Just because we
spend a lot of money, doesn’t mean we have a lot of money.” And with a flip of
my hair —t hat is, if I wasn’t wearing a ball cap to mask the fact that I
hadn’t showered and had just finished chasing a pen of steers — I stride away."
