Little Towns:
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) You said the "F" word and 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 by
references. Turn by Nelson's house, go 2 blocks to
Anderson's, and it's
four houses left >of the track field.
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.
19) Anyone you wanted could be found at the local gas
station or the
town bar.
20) You saw at least one friend a week driving a
tractor through town
or one of your friends driving a grain truck to school
occasionally.
21) The gym teacher suggested you haul hay for the
summer to get
stronger.
22) Directions were given using THE stop light as a
reference.
23) When you decided to walk somewhere for exercise, 5
people would
pull over and ask if you wanted a ride.
24) Your teachers called you by your older siblings'
names.
25) Your teachers remembered when they taught your
parents.
26)You could charge at any local store or write checks
without any
ID.
27) The closest McDonalds was 25 miles away (or more).
28) The closest mall was over an hour away.
29) It was normal to see an old man riding through
town on a riding
lawn mower.
30) You've pee'd in a cornfield.
31) Most people went by a nickname
32) You laughed your butt off reading this because you
know it is
true, and you forward it to everyone who may have
lived in a small town.
I would not have wanted to been raised any other
way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
