I LOOOOOVE being country! ;) Of course, I can be very civilized too, but I'm not ashamed of being a country girl. Not long ago I decided that some of the stuff that happened to me was way too funny not to share it. All of these stories/scenerios/experiences are completely true and did happen to me or my family/friends. Enjoy! ;)

* When I saw a live bait vending machine.
* When my Dad says �kinfolk� when referring to relatives.
* I�ve spent family time shooting guns.
* Picture this: Your next store neighbor suddenly fires his gun into his front yard 2 or 3 times. While you stand there shocked he remarks, �A mole. Killed and buried him in the same shot.�
* I�ve had to stop and re-pronounce something I said so that a northern doctor understood what I was saying. (i.e. �pimento� instead of �pamentah�)
* Went over to visit an aunt�s house during a funeral and found her son in law sitting on the front porch cleaning his guns. His reasoning, �It needed to be done, and I didn�t have nuthin better to do.�
* Been shooting down mistletoe.
* I have family members called: Thelma, Ray Boy, Bubba, Velma, Jimmy Jack, Earlene, etc.
* When Mom walked up the road with Travis one night dressed ONLY in her bathrobe, with her hair wrapped up in a towel.
* Seeing a person stop on the side of the highway and pick the city-planted Buttercup flowers.
* The time a huge verbal fight broke out at my family reunion because one family member believed the other was accusing them of stealing their spatula.
* Fishing a water moccasin out of the swimming pool.
* On one of my first dates I went out with a boy who�s mother worked with my dad. When he brought me home we were walking up the front sidewalk and heard a �click, click� sound from the dark porch. My date looks up to see my dad holding the shot gun he just cocked. Yeah, real funny dad�..
* Being over at my Memaw�s house and hearing the neighbor�s pet rooster crowing.
* When my parents went to a wedding that had a keg....AND the bridesmaids were barefoot.
* My best friend Sara was a bridesmaid in her mother's wedding. The name of the groomsman who walked down the aisle with Sara?....Killer.
* When all else had failed to cure Dad's horrible toothache....Mom gave him a double shot of Jack Daniels ;)
* Looking out the window to see Mom and Travis throwing a peanut butter jar around in the front yard, in the snow. I don't care if they were playing keep away from the dog...it was still hilarious.
* While down at the pool one day, Travis made a comment about how there were frog eggs by the pool. Dad said something about, �Mmmmm! Caviar!� We all laughed and told him that caviar was made from fish eggs. He simply said, �Eggs is eggs.�
* At my Aunt Jessie�s house everyone was playing with the new babies. Jessie said to Memaw, �Hey, put down your beer and pick up the baby.�
* When I walked into the house to hear, �Travis! Don�t point the gun at your sister!�
New!* The time Dad deliberately used the dog�s whitening shampoo and asked, �Does my hair look lighter?�
Don't worry, I'll be adding more all the time! ;)
