This was sent to me by a longtime family friend and I wanted to share with all my southern friends here at AR....Enjoy!!!

FRIENDS" VS. "SOUTHERN" FRIENDS

FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Always bring the food. And lots of it.

FRIENDS: Will say "hello".
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will give you a big hug and a kiss. More than one.

FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Call your parents Mom and Dad, and often.

FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Cry with you. And for you.

FRIEND S: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing, and just being together. Then do the dishes before leaving.

FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you. And most of the time know you better than you do yourself.

FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.

SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds' back-ends that left you. Then walk beside you in the front of the crowd.

FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "Are you home?" If you are not home they will wait.

FRIENDS: Are for a while.
SOUTHREN FRIENDS: Are for life. And then some.

I have been Blessed with SOUTHERN FRIENDS

I LOVE YA'LL!!!

Oh yea....so true.

I miss the South, the manners etc.. When we first moved here I walked right in to someone's house. They told me they preferred I call first.

Ugh....differnt rules. I like the Southern ones best.

Sounds to me like all your friends here in the South are Italian. It is the same in Italian families and friends. Good post

Laura... These are very cute, I must say most of my friends from the south posses these same southern graces but not all of them do.

If we lived close you would bet I would be a Southern friend. Isn't it great?

I love Southern manners! Hubby was born and raised in the South and each time we visited I always felt so heartwarmed by everyone!

Nothing better than a true friend! I would rather have 2 southern friends than a boatload of friends.

Love the post! There is definately a difference in the South. A few years back I had to go to Cleveland for a few months. I knew I was back home in the South when on the way home I stopped at a gas station in TN and the person at the register said, "Well hi there hun, how are you doing today? It was like a breath of fresh air. :)
