LIGHTEN UP, ITS SATURDAY NIGHT
Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance
that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture
of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried
chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's
trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large
banana puddin!
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between
"right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that
"just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20
Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover
they're related, even if only by marriage.
And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities
at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway..
You just say, "Bless her little heart" ... And go your own way.
All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might
All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might
not use the term, but they know the concept well.
Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit
and a conniption fit, and that you don't "HAVE" them, you
"PITCH" them.

THANKFULLY, in case any of you were wondering,
Mom is feeling much better. She says she's "really
sore, and knows her ribs and the injection site where
the actually took the fluid from is still there (ha, because they
are rather sore even yet)... but it is way better than yesterday! "
SO, THANK YOU GOD!
