I found a newspaper clipping when going through my mom's recipe box that she had saved.
I'm sharing it here as it's sort of funny.
You Know You Are A Southerner.....
* Your wife's hairdo has ever been ruined by a ceiling fan.
* You think potted meat on a saltine is an hors d'oeuvre.
* The diploma in your den includes the words "Trucking Institute".
* Your mother keeps a spit cup on the ironing board.
* You've ever been too drunk to fish.
* You have a rag for a gas cap.
* You had a toothpick in your mouth when your wedding pictures were taken.
* A grit is something edible, not something you're made of.
* You know that spoon bread isn't eaten with a spoon.
* The sound of cicadas means that Summer has truly begun.
* You can't visit friends or family without taking something to them(preserves, tomatoes/zucchini from your garden, etc.)and you're not allowed to leave without being given something to take home.
* You have at least one houseplant that is a descendant of one given to you by a great-grandmother. Extra points if it's a Christmas cactus.
* Soup is not soup without okra.
* Christmas isn't Christmas without someone saying, "Christmas gift!" and hearing the only appropriate response: "Han Itcheer."
* It must be Christmas morning if there's oyster stew on the breakfast table.
* You know that difference between a "chopped" or "pulled" barbecue sandwich.
* You get dressed up to go visit friends and neighbors at the grocery store.
* The family dog is named for a deceased loved one.
Have you got any pearls of Southern wisdom to add?
