re: Why is the question 'where are you from' difficult?

I have a hard time answering this question for several reasons. I was born in Nebraska but spent most of my childhood living in Kansas. Lived all my teenage years up to currently in Louisiana so I guess I could say I'm "from Louisiana" since I've spent most of my life here. However I've lived in several places in Louisiana ranging from Shreveport to New Orleans and Baton Rouge. So it gets pretty damn confusing when people want to know where exactly I am "from."
