Hi Monica,
These are funny. I was born and raised in Memphis, TN but have lived in MS for 8 years now.
Here are the ones that are most true for me:
3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel. WHY do we do this?? Never did it when I lived in Memphis! LOL
One day at work, my co-worker screams "Tornado" and grabs me pulling me toward the back of the store and I'm pulling away trying to see what she's talking about ... and yes, there was a tornado and SHE made me miss it!!! LOL
4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade. Well, most of the parking lots around here don't have shade anyway ... but if I know I'm going to be there a while and there IS shade available .. I go for the shade!!
5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies. People around here do call them baskets ... but my grandmother lives farther south and they do have buggies! :)
8. You measure distance in minutes. (It's about 5 minutes down the road) -- YES!! Go 5 minutes down the road, pass Wal-Mart, turn right by the big oak tree and then another 3 minutes take a left. Ha Ha Ha
19. You have used your heater and air-conditioner in the same day! Yes, and my husbands wants to kill me for it -- LOL :)
20. 'You wanna coke?' 'Yeah.' 'What kind?' 'Dr Pepper.' Yes ... LOL ... I remember when I was in high school (in Memphis) and a friend of mine who moved down here from PA would be over and I would ask her if she wanted a coke and she'd say yes and then I'd offer her Pepsi or Dr. Pepper ... she wanted to scream!! LOL
Thanks for the laughs Monica!!!
Best Wishes,
Beth
