Who here have grown up in a small town I know I did

OK, I admit -- I HAD to laugh when I read these and I'm proud to say that I can relate to almost every one of them! Life was so much simpler back then!
Those who grew up in small towns will laugh when they read this

1) You can name everyone you graduated with.
2) You know what 4-H means.
3) You went to parties at a pasture, barn, gravel pit, or in the
middle of a dirt road. On Monday you could always tell who was at the
party
because of the scratches on their legs from running through the woods
when the party was busted. (See #6.)
4) You used to "drag" Main.
5) You said the "F" word and your parents knew within the hour.
6) You scheduled parties around the schedules of different police
officers, because you knew which ones would bust you and which ones
wouldn't.
7) You could never buy beer because all the store clerks knew
how old you were (and if you were old enough, they'd tell your parents
anyhow.)
8) When you did find somebody old enough and brave enough to buy
beer, you still had to go out into the country and drive on back
roads to drink it.
9) You knew which section of the ditch you would find the beer your buyer
dropped off.
10) It was cool to date somebody from the neighboring town.
11) The whole school went to the same party after graduation.
12) You didn't give directions by street names but rather by
references. Turn by Nelson's house, go 2 blocks to Anderson's, and its
four houses left of the track field.
13) The golf course had only 9 holes.
14) You couldn't help but date a friend's ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.
15) Your car stayed filthy because of the dirt roads, and you will
never own a dark vehicle for this reason.
16) The town next to you was considered "trashy" or "snooty," but was
actually just like your town.
17) You referred to anyone with a house newer then 1965 as the "rich
people.
18) The people in the "big city" dressed funny, and then you picked up
the trend 2 years later.
19) Anyone you wanted could be found at the local gas station or the town
bar
20) You saw at least o! ne friend a week driving a tractor through town
or one of your friends driving a grain truck to school occasionally.
21) The gym teacher suggested you haul hay for the summer to get
stronger.
22) Directions were given using THE stop light as a reference.
23) When you decided to walk somewhere for exercise, 5 people would
pull over and ask if you wanted a ride.
24) Your teachers called you by your older siblings' names.
25) Your teachers remembered when they taught your parents.
26) You could charge at any local store or write checks without any ID.
27) The closest McDonalds was 25 miles away (or more).
28) The closest mall was over an hour away

29) It was normal to see an old man riding through town on a riding lawn
mower.
30) You've pee'd in a cornfield.
31) Most people went by a nickname.
32) You laughed your butt off reading this because you know it is
true, and you forward it to everyone who may have lived in a small town.
I would not have wanted to been raised any other way!
Tough times don't last... Tough people do.....

 

I think someone from my town wrote that. I kidd you not. Every one of those is true.

 

everything except 22 and 27. we were on a highway, so we actualy had a McDonalds (1) and i remember i was in high school when it was built[&:]
abd we didnt even have one stoplight

 

i used to live in a small town that didn't have stoplights or had a high school. my parents didn't even had to drive to work because the field where they work was next to to our house.

 

hahaha, except for the Mc. Donalds one, they are all true.

Good ol' small towns. I remember having "field parties" with big ol' bon fires. The cops (who were usually at the party before their shift started anyway) would always come back just to scare us into thinking we were getting busted. It's quite a site to see a police cruiser hauling *** across an open field, and about 100 16-20 year olds scattering into the woods.

 

haha alot of thos go with me, i live in the middle of no were with farms sourounding me..and i went to school in a small town, the most imbarrising part is changing schools to somthing in a city and learning alot of things that you should of learned when you were younger, things that kids pick up
