Small Towns
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2001 8:50 pm
You know you grew up in a small town if:
1) You can name everyone you graduated with
2) You know what 4-H and FFA stand for.
3) You ever went to parties at a pasture, barn,or in the middle of a dirt road.
4) You used to cruise/drag/scoop/lap "main"
5) You said the "F" word and your parents knew within the hour
6) You scheduled parties around the schedule of different police officers, since you know which ones would bust you and which ones wouldn't.
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)
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.
9) It was cool to date somebody from the neighboring town
10) The whole school went to the same party after graduation
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)
12) The golf course had only 9 holes
13) You can't help but date a friend's ex-boyfriend/girlfriend
14) Your car stays filthy because of the dirt roads and you will never own a dark vehicle for this reason
15) The town next to you is considered "trashy" or "snooty", but it is actually just like your town.
16) You refer to anyone with a house newer than 1970 as the "rich people"
17) The people in the "big city" dress funny, and then you pick up the trend 2 years later.
18) Anyone you want can be found at the local gas station or the town pub
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
20) The gym teacher suggest you haul hay for the summer to get stronger
21) Directions are given using THE stop light as a reference
22) You decide to walk somewhere for exercise and 5 people pull over and ask you if you want a ride somewhere
23) Your teachers call you by your older sibling's names
24) Your teachers remember when they taught your parents
25) You can charge at all the local stores or write checks without any ID.
26) The closest McDonalds is 45 miles away (or more) (not luverne on this one)
27) The closest mall is over an hour away
28) It is normal to see an old man riding through town on a riding lawn mower.
29) You laugh your butt off reading this because you know it is true and you forward it to everyone who lives in your town (because you know them All!!!)
