Ahhh Small Towns

After having moved back to a small town, I found this newspaper clipping in a pile of papers I was unpacking. I thought it was most appropriate.

You Know You're In A Small Town When:
  1. Third street is on the edge of town
  2. Every sport is played on dirt
  3. The editor of the paper carries a camera at all times
  4. You don't use your signal light because everyone knows where you are going
  5. You were born on June 13 and were the New Year's Baby
  6. You speak to each dog you pass and we wags his tail at you
  7. You dial the wrong number and talk for 15 minutes anyway
  8. You are run off Main street by a combine
  9. You can't walk for exercise because every car stops and offers a ride
  10. You get married and the local paper devotes a quarter page to the story
  11. You drive into a ditch five miles out of town and the word gets back to town before you do
  12. The biggest business in town is a Coffee Shop
  13. You write a cheque on the wrong bank and the bank covers it for you
  14. The pickups trucks at Church out number the cars 3 to 1
  15. You miss a Sunday Service and receive a get well card
  16. Someone asks you how you feel and listens to what you say

I just thought some of you might relate to this. I always laugh when I hear people say they are from a small town and say the population is 10,000 people, that ain't no small town, try 500 people(if the Small college in town has a good year).

Have a great Week!

Ha ah! So true - especially the wrong number one... I always ask who they were trying to get a hold of, and then give them the proper number!
