You had senior skip day.
The whole school went to the same party after

You don't give directions by street names, but
something more like, 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" stoplight as a
reference.

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 Taco Bell or Burger King is at least 100
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 butt 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!)
