YOU MIGHT BE FROM A SMALL TOWN IF ..........
You can name everyone you graduated with. You know what 4-H is. You ever went to parties at a pasture, barn, or in the middle of a dirt road. You used to drag "Main".
You swore at someone and your parents knew within the hour. You ever went cow-tipping or snipe hunting. School gets canceled for city, county, or state events. You were ever in the Homecoming parade. You have ever gone home for Homecoming. Everyone thought it was really cool to date someone from the neighboring town. You had senior skip day. The whole school went to the same party after graduation. You don't give directions by street names, but instead like this: Turn right by Nelson's house, go two blocks east past Anderson's, and it's four houses left of the track field.
The country club golf course had only 9 holes. (Or there wasn't even one.) You can't help but date a friend's ex-boyfriend/girlfriend. You refer to anyone with a house newer than 1980 as the "rich people". The people in the city dress funny, then your town picks up on the trend a few years later. You bragged to your friends because you got pipes on your truck for your birthday. Anyone you want can be found at either the Dairy Queen or the feed store. You see at least one friend a week driving a tractor through town.
The football coach suggested that you haul hay for the summer to get stronger. Directions are given using "the" stop light as a reference. The city council meets at the coffee shop. Your "letter jacket" was worn after your 19th birthday. You decide to walk somewhere for exercise and 5 people pull over and ask if you need a ride. Your teachers call you by your older siblings' names. Your teachers remember when they taught your parents. The closest McDonald's or Burger King is at least 30 miles away. So is the closest shopping mall. It is normal to see an old man riding through town on a riding lawn mower. You laugh your rear off reading this because you know they're all true. Then you forward it to everyone who lives in your town (because you know them all)!
