Those who grew up in small towns will laugh when they read this.Those who didn't will be in disbelief.
1) You can name everyone you graduated with.
2) You know what 4-H means.
3) You went to parties at a pasture, barn, gravel pit, or in the middle of a dirt road. On Monday you could always tell who was at the party
Because of the scratches on their legs from running through the woods
when the party was busted. (See 6)
4) You used to "drag" Main.
5) If you said the "F" word - your parents knew within the hour.
6) You scheduled parties around the schedules of different police officers, because you knew which ones would bust you and which ones
wouldn't.
7) You could never buy cigarettes 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 cigarettes, you still had to go out into the country and drive on
Back roads to smoke them.
9) You knew which section of the ditch you would find the beer your buyer dropped off.
10) It was cool to date somebody from the neighboring town.
11) The whole school went to the same party after graduation.
12) You didn't give directions by street names but rather byreferences. Turn right by Nelson's house, take the first leftafter that spot where Jimmy's Mom hit that cow, and it's two roads down on
the left by the airfield.
13) The golf course had only 9 holes.
14) You couldn't help but date a friend's
ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.
15) Your car stayed filthy because of the dirt roads, and you will never own a dark vehicle for this reason.
16) The town next to you was considered "trashy" or "snooty," but was actually just like your town.
17) You referred to anyone with a house newer than 1965 as the "rich people".
18) The people in the "big city" dressed funny, and then you picked up the trend 2 years later.
