Are we supposed to be amused by her naiveté? I grew up in Detroit and I've also spent quite a bit of time in rural areas of Michigan. I'm not creative enough to sensationalize the time I spent in rural Michigan as she has done with her years[[?) in Detroit.
Matter of fact, both my time spent living in Detroit and the time I spent visiting rural Michigan were largely uneventful. So much so that my bullshit meter goes off when someone who spent a fraction of the time living in Detroit that I have claims to have so many "wild and crazy" experiences while living in dirty, scary Detroit.
I do realize that my experience is anecdotal, but I'm pretty sure that I know far more people in Detroit than she does. And of the people I know, most of their experiences are probably far closer to mine than hers.
