You know you are in a small town
when...
-
Nobody looks twice when you ride a horse down the street.
-
You get married, and the local paper devotes a half page to the
story.
-
Main Street stretches from one end of town to another, four
whole blocks.
-
On any given day, pickup trucks outnumber cars three-to-one on
main street.
-
Five people run everything.
-
People "let themselves in for a chat" just as you are stepping
out of the tub.
-
You have a "private party" and the whole town shows up.
-
You move to another house in town, and the mailman doesn't have
to be told there's a change of address.
-
You mistakenly write a check on the wrong bank, and they cover
it for you.
-
When you go to the store for groceries you leave the car running
and it's still there when you come out.
-
The guy pumping gas into your car is also the mayor.
-
The preacher gets an automatic discount no matter what he's
wearing.
-
You go out for 15 minutes to clear a big pile of snow the boy
you hired had missed, to have your husband come home from the
office and say, "I heard you were out shoveling snow."
-
You know whose check is good and whose husband isn't.
-
The stranger starts bad mouthing one of the locals only to find
out the man being bad mouthed is the most respected gent in
miles and also is a first cousin to the person with whom the
stranger is talking.
-
You don't need to use the
car's turn signals because everyone knows where you're going.
-
You were born on June 13,
and receive prizes from the merchants for being the second baby
of the year.
-
You dial the wrong number,
but end up talking 15 minutes anyway.
-
You drive in a ditch five
miles out of town, and the word gets back before you do.
