Crump: Lacking Her Idaho Pedigree

My wife Victoria is coming up on her 25th anniversary of living in this green and pleasant land, so she asked me the other day when she might be considered an Idahoan. I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Would you? Especially since she’s spent all that time in Boise. Had she dwelt instead in, say, Mud Lake, Malad or Mullan, we could maybe let it slide. But I’m thinking that two score years and change in the shadow of the Boise Town Square Mall aren’t that challenging. Granted, she used to live in California, so the requirements for Idaism are sterner/Steve Crump, Twin Falls Times-News. More here.

Question: Could you prove in court that you're a bonafide Idahoan?
