Small Towns
1) You can name everyone you graduated with
I can name all 82 of them.
2) You know what 4-H and FFA stand for.
I was in both.
3) You ever went to parties at a pasture, barn,or in the middle of a dirt road.
Every weekend.
4) You used to cruise/drag/scoop/lap "main"
I have made the loop from Hardees to TR Miller High School enough times that if I took the mileage and added it together....I would have been to the moon and back.
5) You said the "F" word and your parents knew within the hour
I hate telephones.
6) You scheduled parties around the schedule of different police officers, since you know which ones would bust you and which ones wouldn't.
Or which one where out in the woods getting some.
7) You could never buy beer because all the store clerks knew how old you were (and if you were old enough they'd tell your parents anyhow)
It depends on the people you know.
8) When you did find somebody old enough and brave enough to buy beer,you still had to go out into the country and drive on back roads to drink them.
I believe I would have been the one taking the beer to the one's on the back roads.
9) It was cool to date somebody from the neighboring town
As long as they were not kin.
10) The whole school went to the same party after graduation
Plus you would crash parties for ...other schools, other year's classes...ect ect..
11) You don't give directions by street names or directions by references. Turn by Nelson's house, go to 2 blocks east to Anderson's, and it's four houses left of the track (field)
I was never good with directions...I just rode till I found a house with the front yard full of cars. This had to be the place.
12) The golf course had only 9 holes
It was 3, but they decided to expand...to 9 (In the process found ******* moonshine still)
13) You can't help but date a friend's ex-boyfriend/girlfriend
This was the part I hated.
14) Your car stays filthy because of the dirt roads and you will never own a dark vehicle for this reason
I would never learn..
15) The town next to you is considered "trashy" or "snooty", but it is actually just like your town.
I wouldn't say that about Flomaton.
16) You refer to anyone with a house newer than 1970 as the "rich people"
The rich folk...
17) The people in the "big city" dress funny, and then you pick up the trend 2 years later.
I never followed the style.... I always made my own.
18) Anyone you want can be found at the local gas station or the town pub
Damn Minute Stop....this place sells everything...(I'm waiting for the used car lot to appear in the cat food dept.)
I can name all 82 of them.

19) you see at least one friend a week driving a tractor through town or one of your friends drives a grain truck to school occasionally
******** had a grain truck with a 454....talk about doing a burn out.
20) The gym teacher suggest you haul hay for the summer to get stronger
I hated gym.
21) Directions are given using THE stop light as a reference
There was one till the transfer truck knocked it down.
22) You decide to walk somewhere for exercise and 5 people pull over and ask you if you want a ride somewhere
Plus 5 will try and run you down.
23) Your teachers call you by your older sibling's names
I was the older one
24) Your teachers remember when they taught your parents
Also remembers spanking them..."Yes I had to spank your dad every morning"
25) You can charge at all the local stores or write checks without any ID.
I have never heard.."Are you from out of town."
26) The closest McDonalds is 45 miles away (or more) (not luverne on this one)
I wish it was further.
27) The closest mall is over an hour away
If you take 9 mile road...it will be exactly one hour.
28) It is normal to see an old man riding through town on a riding lawn mower.
I believe this is the (car) lawn mower he drove to school....50 years ago.
