"you May Be Country If"

[PAPPY]

On your first date you go to a turkey shoot.

You can't wait to go to Grandma's to eat chicken and dumplin's and blackberry cobbler.

You ask for sweet milk in a restaurant.

You have to crawl under the house to catch a headless chicken because it's your lunch.

You can't go on vacation until the peanut patch is chopped.

You use an AM radio to relax the cows to get them to give more milk.

You're expected to keep A's in school even though you missed so many days during the planting and harvest.

When someone asks your dad why all four boys were born in January, he says, "April was planting time."

You eat mayonnaise on just about everything...When you can get it.

You see a lady driving a tractor or combine.

When you visit someone, you gather in the kitchen around the table to talk.

When outside you get red bugs on you.

Going "out of state" on vacation means going to Myrtle Beach.

You use sewing thread for dental floss.

You use broom straw for toothpicks.

You have taken a bath in the Pee Dee or NEW River.

You have at least one hooptee car or truck.

You shop for Christmas gifts at the flea market on Highway 20N.

You add a room onto the house because you run out of walls to hang your deer racks.

You park your old M Farmall on the hill so you can roll it off and crank it, because it has a magneto and you don't want to buy a battery for it.

You eat the top tier of you wedding cake before your first anniversay because you need freezer space for more deer meat.

You give all your young'ns a "tick finder" hair cut with horse clippers in the summer time.

You take your own bottle of Texas Pete to a restaurant in your pocket because they have only Tabasco.

You have a solar shower on top of your horse trailer made from a beer keg.

you gave your wife a "solar cloths dryer" for her birthday...

made from bailing twine you found at the feed yard.

You might be country if a limb is hanging from a tree and your husband brings out a shot gun because it is to high for the pole saw.
(true story) from the country in SC

[cjoej]

Sounds like a very inovative and adaptable husband there Gordiesgirl!

A tip o the hat to country folk!

You might be country if.......
You went to gather eggs as a child and a chicken snake bit you in the face True.
Your cousin bought a pony from your dad and carried it the 30 miles home in the back of his convertible. Yeah, true.
You swung on grapevines over deep hollows for fun (why didn't we die? and where were our parents?)
You picked blackberries every summer.
You had to dip dead chickens in hot water and pluck out their feathers (ew!) and eat them later for dinner.
and...you are always "fixin' to" do something or "fixin' to" go somewhere.
I love this post. Brought back some memories.

Can tell you been there Donna...
