I tripped over an old blog of mine and thought it was worth posting again...Its just plain funny.
A lot of you guys know that I grew up in a really small town... 
Now, "small" is a bit of a relative term...Im talking S-M-A-L-L. Like, less than 1,000 people. There were 29 kids in my graduating class...That type of small.
If you want to know, its Plains, MT. ...Tiny little town on Hwy 200 about 75 miles west of Missoula.
Anyway...I tripped over the following list the other day and nearly hospitalized myself laughing over how true it really is...and I just had to share.
You know you are from a small town when...
- You were in 4-H.
- You know what 4-H is.
- You said the 'f' word and your parents knew within the hour.
- You ever went cow-tipping or snipe hunting.
- School gets canceled for state events.
- You have ever taken a trailer or dog to school.
- Your teachers calls you by your older siblings names.
- Your teachers remember when they taught your parents.
- You were ever in the Homecoming parade.
- You have ever gone home for Homecoming.
- It was cool to date someone from the neighboring town.
- You can't help but date a friend's ex-girlfriend.
- Football coaches suggest that you haul hay for the summer to get stronger.
- You had senior skip day.
- You ever went to parties at a pasture, barn, or in the middle of a dirt road.
- You can name everyone you graduated with.
- The whole school went to the same party after graduation.
- You wore your letter jacket after your 19th birthday.

- It is normal to see an old man riding through town on a riding lawnmower.
- You decide to walk somewhere for exercise and 5 people pull over and ask if you need a ride.
- You don't give directions by street names or directions. Instead, you use references (turn by Nelson's house, go two blocks east of the Anderson's, and it's four houses left of the track field).
- You give directions using "the" stop light as a reference. (My town still doesnt have a stop light...)
- The country club golf course had only 9 holes.
- Getting paid minimum wage is considered a raise.
- You refer to anyone with a house newer than 1980 as the "rich people"
